[plug] Debian update failed

[Jon Miller]

While updating a debian server I got the following at the end of the apt-get update
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing e2fsprogs (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Cannot remove the package nor upgrade it.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks
