Makes sense to me.  Could you give a log from when this was triggered?
Ideally using "dpkg-deb --debug" but even if not, a few lines before
that appeared on the console could be useful to figure out which
ohshite() invocation would need to be tweaked.

A more general audit of places dpkg could provide more context when
erroring out for a syscall error sounds like a good idea, but it would
take more time. :/

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
