RE: dpkg "Unknwon error 990"

["Brancato, Mike" <mike.brancato@acs-inc.com>]

ls: /var/lib/dpkg/info/openmcu.list: Unknown error 990
cat: /var/lib/dpkg/info/openmcu.list: Unknown error 990

Looks like I might have filesystem issues.   Xfs_check is showing a lot of
non-verbose output including a bad inode.  I'm going to try xfs_repair.

Thanks for helping me stumble on that.

Regards,

What does /var/lib/dpkg/info/openmcu.list look like? Does it exist at
all? Can you cat the file and get a sensible list of files out of it?
