Hi!
When trying to upgrade or reinstall the xfonts-75dpi,
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded or 100dpi & transcoded debian packages on my
2.6.10-rc3 amd64 reiserfsv3 host, I get the following errors:
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-75dpi_4.3.0.dfsg.1-10_all.deb (--unpack):

Errors were encountered while processing:

/var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-75dpi-transcoded_4.3.0.dfsg.1-10_all.deb
And at the same time, I get this in my kernel log:
ReiserFS: hdg2: warning: reiserfs_add_entry: Congratulations! we have got
hash function screwed up
Sure sounds like a filesystem bug to me. Is this 2.6.10-rc3-specific or a
generic bug in handling hash collisions?
Deleteing the fonts and installing the package works, but the next upgrade
makes the error appear again.
