as you can see, the available file is very corrupt. my question is: how did this happen? is it reiserfs, which supposedly isn't all that great, or is this something to do with apt/dpkg. can i fix it easily?
Reiserfs, like most of journalised filesystem, ensure filesystem consistency but not necessary protect your data. To limit the lose of datas you can use ext3 which have an option to journalise data.
