This is what caused the error:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 17602 package
`firefox-gnome-support':
`Depends' field, invalid package name `l)bfontconfig1': character `)' not
allowed - only letters, digits and -+._ allowed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 740, in emit
2.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
self.flush()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 718, in flush
self.stream.flush()
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad fi
So it looks like the /var/lib/dpkg/status file gots corrupted during the
upgrade. This might be a bug in dpkg, but it is more likely that there
is some sort of hardware problem/filesystem corruption here. Does a
memtest runs ok? Does checking the filesystem tells anything about
problems there?
Thanks,
Michael
