If you're worried that some things are corrupt you can always reinstall 
everything.

Once while moving around my raid arrays I had began formating /dev/hda instead 
of /dev/hdaX, I cancelled fairly quickly but it had been enough to destroy a 
portion of one RAID array.  Can't remember entirely how I recovered 
everything but a good part of it was trying to figure out what packages had 
been installed and then "apt-get install --reinstall every friggin thing".
