[Nottingham] Debian system repair/check/reinstall

Folks,

I've a Debian system that is now rather cranky after a filesystem
upset... It appears to be generally fine other than suffering something
sending it awol occasionally...

So... What's the Debian or apt-get incantation to check or reinstall the
packages it thinks it should have?

(Do not be mislead by "--fix-broken"... That only fixes missing
dependencies...)


Cheers,
Martin

awol: Absent WithOut Leave (Why not awl? Too close to owl?)
