Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.22 Severity: serious I was installing php5 while my system ran out of disk space. dpkg breaks, and leaves the system in a state where I can no longer use dpkg. To find out the version number of dpkg I used /var/log/dpkg.log, as I couldn't use dpkg to find it's own version number... Hope it's the correct one.
