Comment 21 for bug 108189

I am running into this fairly regularly on systems I have deployed for customers. The only thing in common with the systems is that they have the root partition on an SSD. All of these systems are using the 'KINGSTON SS100S2' SSD. I get no errors about disk problems in dmesg, but if I 'touch /forcefsck && shutdown -r now', the box will reboot and usually find filesystem corruption.

Out of roughly 45 machines there are 10 with SSDs. 9 of the SSD machines have suffered from this issue. My resolution was to delete /var/lib/dpkg/info/<package>.list and re-run 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'. None of the non-SSD machines have run into this issue. Lastly, the SSD machines are a mix of 10.04 and 10.10.
