unmerge 106224 close 106224 kthxbye This is an old bug, and is currently unreproducible. There were recent fixes to dpkg's error handling and unpack clean-up that may have fixed this.
Please try again, and if you still get the problem, open a new bug. The intended behaviour is that on the unpack failing, dpkg rolls back the package to the previous state and leaves your system as it found it -- this is tested and seems to work in the cases I have here. Scott -- Have you ever, ever felt like this? Had strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?
