Invoking the remove command again causes dpkg to hang with no messages in the
log and no way to kill it. kill -9 does nothing. Attempting to attach gdb
causes gdb to hang also.
Last night I discovered filesystem corruption and rebuilt the reiserfs tree,
possibly some parts of the package management system are corrupt. If you are
interested I can provide copies of any files that might be useful.
This is completely repeatable, after a reboot exactly the same thing happens,
although I haven't checked to see if the log entries differ. I can provide 2
or 3 more if that helps.
I haven't checked to see if removing other packages, or adding packages,
also causes this problem.

How can any program work if your system is hosed?
resierfs is buggy.
