well, ok here's what I did that cleared the problem, somehow: 
In /var/lib/dpkg, I simply renamed "status" into "status.1", and then renamed 
"status-old" into "status". (Didn't want to lose any file, and tried to avoid 
any editing). Somehow it cleared the problem, and now I can update cleanly 
again.
