What is the error that you see during upgrades and/or package removal? The output you pasted only complained about /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control which refers to the control file of the newly installed/upgraded package and not to the currently installed one. Are you sure that the packages you were trying to install did not have the problem? Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Like what I do?
