Rebuild .deb packages database

[Jay Mistry]

Is there a command to rebuild the package database in Ubuntu - equivalent to
the  < rpmdb --rebuilddb / rpm --rebuilddb > for RPM-based systems
(Fedora/openSUSE), as mentioned <goog_1253118382263>here<goog_1253118382263>

For openSUSE, the corresponding cmds are as given here:

$ su
> # cp /var/lib/rpm/__db.001 /home/(user)
> # rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.001
> # cp /var/lib/rpm/__db.002 /home/(user)
> # rm /var/lib/rpm/ __db.002
>

# rpm –rebuilddb
>

Thanks,

Jay
