This would make sense. I experienced this problem on a second computer. Both run testing and are updated daily, which means they get every intermediary package that ever makes it into testing. They also have random numbers of packages from unstable and experimental. A third computer which is updated less frequently did not exhibit this problem. Unfortunately I reinstalled wamerican on both affected computers before receiving this email, so I can't do much investigation into the cause of the problem. However, I can report that it wasn't caused because my /var partition was full.
