Actually I think that it may have been a filesystem corruption. Could you check what /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0012 contains? I have had some python scripts end up in there on an ext4 filesystem before. The error message is similar, and /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* are actually dpkg's journal files of what still needs to be done to dpkg's database, if I am not mistaken. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin (GPG: 0x8F02A411) Ubuntu Developer
