Sometimes you solve a problem once, think it's solved properly, post to a list, and then discover you can't reproduce it.
The second corrupt file gives the following: # ls -al /var/lib/dpkg/info/ed.md5sums ls: cannot access /var/lib/dpkg/info/ed.md5sums: Stale NFS file handle # rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/ed.md5sums rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/dpkg/info/ed.md5sums': Stale NFS file handle # unlink /var/lib/dpkg/info/ed.md5sums unlink: cannot unlink `/var/lib/dpkg/info/ed.md5sums': Stale NFS file handle
This seems a bit bogus. There's no reason why an rm or unlink should fail if the corruption only affects one file.
Even if the corrupt "file" in question is /var/lib/dpkg/info (i.e. the dir, not the file inside it)?
