After some slightly non-standard backup recovery procedure, I’d like to fix things further by redownloading and reinstalling all rpm packages. What is the easiest way of doing that on Sailfish OS?

i have converted your question into an how-to article

I guess I have a serious problem: the command above returns "Failed - Could not find package xxx" (for ALL listed packages)

I had that for a few packages (which is why I run the install command on each package separately). If it does it for all, then maybe you need to refresh your repositories?

Same issue after pkcon refresh :-(

(Since a weird incident yesterday, several apps are now broken or semi-broken, that's why I believed your post could maybe save my life)

Will try again tomorrow with zypper instead of pkcon

I suspect the issue is this: pkcon install zypper will work but pkcon install zypper-1.8.3-1.1.39-armv7hl (with version number) won't. How do I format rpm output to keep only the package name?
