here is my partition table as shown by parted.

Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
 1      32.3kB  200GB   200GB   primary   ntfs            boot

I don't understand the "Logical sector size is zero." message
before
"dosfslabel failed: 256 at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-base.postinst line 1059, <STDIN> line 
10."

Any advise using dosfslabel on my system to diagnose more precisely the problem is
welcome.

I hope it's not because of any missusing of partition.

You have a line in /etc/fstab that refers to a disk or partition with
filesystem type 'vfat' or 'msdos', while the disk/partition actually
uses some other type.  You should remove or correct this line, then run
'dpkg --configure --pending' to retry the upgrade.
