Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.20
Severity: normal
I did an installation of a package with many deps on a current Lenny,
which resulted in the disk filling up completely. After having freed
some diskspace I wanted to run "dpkg --configure -a", which failed:
lennytest:/home/jmm/foobar/swig1.3-1.3.33# LANG=C dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0161' near line 1:
newline in field name `#padding'
(Actually all dpkg calls fail)
There are 165 files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates:

The corrupted one is 0161:

I'm aware that out of diskspace errors are difficult, but this looks like a bug.
