OK,
"Incomplete" usually means "there is not enough information, and so no one is working on the bug." Since no one asked for additional information, I guess I don't understand how the bug can be marked "incomplete". Whatever.

My repos, per /etc/apt/sources.list, are:

Is this not the master repo? Is there some other Hardy repo that we should be using?

You state that I should "fix the errors on my side", but you do not state what these errors are. I'll fix them, but don't know where the errors might be.

You state that I should use aptitude to fix dpkg's current state, but I don't know what you mean by this. A cycle of apt-get update; apt-get upgrade shows that my system is up-to-date, and aptitude shows I have no missing packages, and no obsolete packages. What is it exactly that I am expected to do?

Please not that I am not the only person reporting this problem; this appears to be a recurring theme, and so far, there does not actually appear to be any fix for this...?
