[mythtv-users] Will reinstalling mythtv-backend kill the database?

Hiya,

I'm having some issues with my 0.24-fixes combined BE/FE.

The wife switched the power off to the box and in the process created
several thousand lost+found files and a broken FE.
The quickest way to get the box back into a working state was to
"apt-get install --reinstall" most of the myth packages.

I didn't do the mythbackend as that seemed to be working, however I've
still got some strange issues and wanted to finish off the
re-installation process.

My question is, will running "apt-get install --reinstall
mythtv-backend" kill the database?


Thanks,

Ian.
