dpkg: warning: files list file for package `*’ missing 解决方法

在执行apt-get的时候，经常出现大量的
dpkg: warning: files list file for package ‘XXXX’ missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
语句，这主要是由于在利用dpkg（apt-get或者aptitude）命令安装安装包后，却删除了程序相关的文件，或者移除了相关文件，但是在dpkg数据库中却保留着他们的信息，因此导致了出现以上warning现象，解决方法是彻底移除信息（dpkg -P *）或者重新安装这些数据包。

下面提供的这个shell脚本实现的就是从输出的错误信息中提取出数据包，并利用aptitude重新安装的方法（需要安装aptitude，其实也很简单，apt-get install 一下即可，当然也可以自己修改为apt-get，我只是觉得aptitude好用而已……）。其中，报错信息存储在sh.txt文件中（sh.txt是自己创建的一个临时文件，在运行apt-get命令的时候在末尾加上 > sh.txt 进行重定向就可以了）。

#!/bin/bashfor package in $(cat sh.txt | grep "dpkg: warning: files list file for package " | grep -Po "'[^']*'" | sed "s/'//g")；do  aptitude reinstall "$package";  #如果没有安装aptitude, 则可以用apt-get --reinstall "$package";done

sh.txt文件内容（示例）
