FAI is putting a ramdisk (tmpfs) on top of /var/lib/dpkg. If this gets overcrowded, a process may not be able to write the status file, and therefore it may be missing. How much RAM does your client have? You can disable the ramdisk by setting FAI_RAMDISK=/doesnotexist in class/*.var -- regards Thomas
