I have just tried an usual update+upgrade today on my beagleboard and it fails as below:
cprov@beagle-one:/var/lib/dpkg$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages will be upgraded:
udev
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/292 kB of archives.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

It looks like the dpkg status file contains an invalid status for udev (all the other files upgraded went through via apt-get -f install). Here is the relevant part of the udev stanza:
Package: udev
Status: install reinstreq half-installed
Multi-Arch: foreign
Priority: important
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 839
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
Architecture: armhf
Version: 175-0ubuntu9.1
Config-Version: 175-0ubuntu9.1
Mangling the Status to 'install ok installed' did not work.
Has anyone experienced the same problem ? Any other suggestion for fixing this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
