well, ok here's what I did that cleared the problem, somehow:
In /var/lib/dpkg, I simply renamed "status" into "status.1", and then renamed
"status-old" into "status". (Didn't want to lose any file, and tried to avoid
any editing). Somehow it cleared the problem, and now I can update cleanly
again.
