The solution is this:

Boot into a different kernel than 2.6.32-41*, I booted into 2.6.32-40.
Now, I don't have graphics drivers installed for that kernel, so what I
did next was to ssh back into my machine from my macbook adding the -X
command (X forwarding). I then proceeded to completely remove all
packages with the version 2.6.32-41* (including configuration files). I
suppose you could do this via apt-get at the shell also. Then I re-
installed the 2.6.32-41* packages that were removed. This time, dpkg
finishes normally. Reboot and you're back to the latest version of the
kernel (properly installed).
