Comment 14 for bug 433943

Solve the problem by following these steps:

1. Booting from a live cd, I use live natty server boot via USB and choose the options:

2. Rescue a broken system;

3. Choose the device to use as root file system (typically the first entry);

4. Choose "Execute a shell in /dev/..." as rescue operation.

then run the commands

# mount -o remount,rw /
# dpkg --configure -a
# mount -o remount,ro /
# sync
# reboot
