[maemo-developers] Data corruption on N770 in OS2007 HE

[From: Alex DAMIAN]

Well, first I was suspecting an off-by-2 (if that exists) somewhere in code,
since to ^@ is indeed 0 (and I thought of some error in a C program). It was
more interesting since the error bytes would come in pairs and would replace
the same letters "l " (ending of the word "install ", but in different
lines.

I'm not familiar with internals of dpkg but I hoped for an error in dpkg
routines which handle the status file; now you made my day, I need a better
tablet :)
