How to repair a faulty /usr partition?
I suffered a bad crash due to repeated power fails.
System wouldn't boot anymore.
I was able to boot a live CD (a Live USB pen, actually) and to manually run fsck on all my partitions.
Everything went ok save for /usr, where several files were badly thrashed.
System boots in rescue mode, but it doesn't in normal (graphical) mode.
Several programs are not-functional because of missing system libs (in /usr/lib/...)
What can I do to repair?
Ideally I would like to reinstall all packages without touching my settings.
Is that possible somehow?
Any advice?
I would like to avoid reinstalling from scratch.
I just ran "sudo aptitude u U g g" and it worked fine, but didn't completely solve my boot problem (unsurprisingly).
