Alright, so, with the help of many people on the list and my own perusal of my lost+found, I've discovered that my problem is indeed the fact that I'm missing my status file. The one I found is broken, but I have an older version on a backup. Anyone know of a way to regenerate my status file? Even if it involves having dpkg manually search through every file on my system to see what's there?
