Bug#401263: Looks like this problem is he same as 81829

["Gordon Farquharson" <gordonfarquharson@gmail.com>]

It looks like the problem I am seeing on the NSLU2 is similar to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=81829 and all of its
reincarnations. Historically, problem has been blamed on faulty lower
level functionality (kernel, filesystem, hardware), but two different
people started seeing it at around the the same time in Debian
Installer daily build images, so I doubt that it can be hardware. This
leaves kernel and filesystem issues, which if correct, would be bad.

I'm still going to try recreating the problem with the corrupted
pkgcache.bin file after I've "fixed" it by manually installing a deb.
However, I'm not sure that this will help resolve the cause of the
problem. Let's see what happens.
