Nope, this does not seem the proper fix. It looks in some cases when upgrading
fam it is not stopped and you run into this problem, so you have to finish the
installation by hand (stopping fam and running dpkg --configure), no idea
where is the issue exactly but i have met another user with the same problem
after upgrading to 2.7.0-13.3 too, so it might be worth it check the lastest
NMU.
And http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377039 seems to be a
similar issue.

Could be this considered as seriuos?
