By mistake I erased the latest /ver/cache/apk/APKINDEX file and now when I lst the installed packages, the list is imcomplete. Is there a way to regenerate a new APKINDEX?

apk update

if you mean the installed packages database, (/lib/apk/db/installed)
and you still have your /etc/apk/world intact, then you can do: `apk
fix` to reinstall the packages.


-nc

Thanks a lot for the prompt answer.
