Public bug reported: That's all I know. It started with dpkg breaking after I ran out of space (although I had 600 Mb still remaining) on root. I rebooted, hoping it would go away, but then the GUI wouldn't boot and Terminal wouldn't start, so I went to GRUB, tried dpkg again and then via root shell tried freeing some space and this thing showed up, but at least after that I was able to boot the GUI and log into the system. Sending this whole thing, hoping that it somehow in someway might help with something.
