This is happening on lots of packages, the /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* that
it's complaining about don't seem to be the original control files but
they appear to be temporaries.
For example it did it on 'mc' for me and the 0002 file shows:
d...@major:/tmp/updates$ more 0002
Package: mc
Status: install reinstreq half-installed
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Version: 3:4.7.0.6-1
Triggers-Awaited: doc-base
d...@major:/tmp/updates$
