I wrote a little shell-thingie to do this. I guess I was just too tired
last night to put all the little pieces together. It's actually quite
simple:
dpkg --get-selections|grep -v deinstall|sed -e 's/ .*//'|while read
file; do apt-get -dy --reinstall install $file; done
That seems to be working on a file by file basis. I'd like to hand them
all to apt for one big download, but that seems harder even if it'd be a
little faster.
