Force reinstall of package
Have searched for this and can't find a solution...
Believe I have screwed my Apache and/or Zoneminder packages, and have looked for a method to force a 'reinstall' of a package (don't want to have to uninstall/reinstall - scared it could get ugly..) but can't find one.
How do I fix a broken package?
Thanks.

Hey you could try
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends package_name

Nope, just get "<package-name> is already the newest version."
Re: Force reinstall of package
choices:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall mypackage
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mypackage
( or if the other solutions have failed:
sudo apt-get purge mypackage && sudo apt-get install mypackage
and logout/in )
