Pogoplug V4 6.5.7 Issue

As I attempt to upgrade from 6.3.8 to 6.5.7 on my Pogoplug V4 I keep getting the following:

root@PogoplugV4:/boot# dpkg -i linux-image-6.5.7-kirkwood-tld-1_1_armel.deb
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 loading files list file for package 'gpg-wks-client': cannot read /var/lib/dpkg/info/gpg-wks-client.list (Input/output error)

After a few attempts it will continue as normal and looks like the upgrade was successful. I then went to purge the old image 6.3.8 and get this:

root@PogoplugV4:/boot# apt purge linux-image-6.2.7-kirkwood-tld-1

Any thoughts on what could be going on? Thanks for any suggestions.

It seems that file was corrupted. Try to print the content.

cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/gpg-wks-client.list

It will probably give you the same Input/output error.

At this point, I would run fsck. Boot with a new basic rootfs, and then plug in this rootfs, run e2fsck to see if there are file system error.

=========

If e2fsck fixes file system error but could not recover the file.

You could try to reinstall the package gpg-wks-client. See if it will recreate the file

apt-get install gnupg gnupg2 gpg-wks-client

If that does not help, purge the package first, and then install

dpkg --purge gpg-wks-client
apt-get install gnupg gnupg2 gpg-wks-client
