chown user:user -R on /var : any chance to recover

Hello,

accidentally I did "chown -R emails:emails /var/" instead of 
"/var/emails". This results of course in a more or less broken system. 
It's a brand new server, not even "live", so it just annoying and waste 
of time.

Is there any chance to recover the correct settings (like reinstall all 
packages) or should I better do a new installation ?
