Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
I ran "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" yesterday and I lacked sufficient
space on / for the upgrades, so dpkg failed. I'm afraid I didn't record
the output.
After freeing some space I run "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" and it gives me the
following output:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct
the problem.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Building tag database... Done
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct
the problem.
Running "sudo dpkg --configure -a":
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0168' near line 1:
newline in field name `#padding'
dpkg seems permanently broken. I can't install new packages, or
upgrades.
** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
