[NTLUG:Discuss] Rebuild installed packages

[ntlug at thorshammer.org]

    Long story short, I clobbered some man page files in /usr/share/man/man1 though luckly that's all I clobbered. I am running Ubuntu, so is there a way to tell any of the apt programs to rebuild all installed packages? Or, better yet, is there a way to tell apt to scan all the packages and have it report (or reinstall) packages where it finds missing files? I seem to remember that there was a way to have apt scan your installed files and report missmatched md5sums.
