I removed packages I shouldn't have after using 'purge' to remove isc-dhcpd-server, isc-dhcpd-client and isc-dhcpd-common. Of the last two Iḿ actually wondering if I should have had them removed at all (I used isc-dhcpd to network-install wattOS (ubuntu 13.04 alternative) on an old laptop without cd-rom or USB boot, and after having finished I wanted to remove isc-dhcpd again..)
Along with the above stuff I managed to remove the following packages according to the /var/.../dpkg.log file:
ubuntu-minimal:i386 1.307
network-manager-gnome:i386 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5.1
network-manager:i386 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22
dnsmasq-base:i386 2.66-4ubuntu1
iputils-arping:i386 3:20121221-1ubuntu1
libgnome-bluetooth11:i386 3.8.1-2ubuntu2
libnetfilter-conntrack3:i386 1.0.3-1
libmnl0:i386 1.0.3-3
libnm-glib-vpn1:i386 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22
libnm-gtk0:i386 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5.1
libnm-glib4:i386 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22
libnm-gtk-common:all 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5.1
libnm-util2:i386 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22
wpasupplicant:i386 1.0-3ubuntu2.1
libreadline5:i386 5.2+dfsg-2
Can somybody maybe help me by explaining how to manually reinstall them in the right order? I guess that if I start with the right ones (DNS, network manager, wpasupplicant) I should have my wireless connection back up and running, so that the rest might be a bit easier to finish in the command-line. I did try to google around a bit to find a solution, but I guess my problem is rather unique.
Just to be clear wattOS is running fine and I can use USB-sticks to get the packages on the specific PC, just the network is down due to the removed packages so I can do it with apt-get.
Maybe somebody can also explain me how to install the packages that I 'import' by means of the USB-stick.. I guess pcmanfm to open the folder, than saying 'open current folder in terminal' and then some magic with dpkg, right?
