After using the menu choice to upgrade my SD card with K730 to K740,
dpkg -l lists the K730 versions of all packages.
this is due to 
/var/lib/dpkg/status
matching the one from K730's KNOPPIX1 cloop file.

As a workaround, I copied /KNOPPIX//var/lib/dpkg/status to /var/lib/dpkg/status

AFAIKT everything is ok now.

Is this a sufficient fix? 
 
Thanks
