Do you have such a file (ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci)? It looks like peple have reported this bug against different packages in the past, and the cause was probably corrupt dpkg status files (which would explain the other messages about the `series' and `sharefont' packages) did you have disk/power failures recently? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
