[...] Same for me. It is more or less reproducible, happens (almost) each time I upgrade or install large packages like e.g. tetex-doc or tetex-extra. Most of the times /var/lib/dpkg/available is corrupted after that and has to be re-created. Fortunately e2fsck from Debian GNU/Linux has been able to fix most errors. This has been happening over and over again since the upgrade to hurd and libc 0.3, I believe. Is there anything one can do to help debugging this?
