RE: dpkg error when running apt-get upgrade.
I got this problem yesterday and I found a fix on the internet, today my system froze and didn't want to boot xbian again so I reinstalled all and updated and got the same problem again, but I can't find where I found the fix anymore Sad
What the fix was that I edited some file in the system where all the packages were listed in (guessing somewhere in /etc/init.d/) with information and a lot so I had to go trough pages and pages of text until I found initscripts and deleted all text that was about it, saved the file and did apt-get upgrade and everything went perfect again!

I'm still searching after this page and if I find it I'll post it here.

EDIT: FOUND IT! It was a link in a link in a post about around the same problem...
How to do:
nano /var/lib/dpkg/status
search for "Package: initscripts"
remove ALL lines under that is about this package
save and run apt-get install -f
if you want, run apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade to get all updated and ready to go Smile
