I don't know if e2fsck or ext4 was wrong. In the end, I had to remove the broken directory, which succeed and solved my problem. These are the steps I did: 01 % e2fsck -fy /dev/root 02 % dumpe2fsck -x /dev/root 03 % e2image -r /dev/root 04 % apt-get install 05 % dmesg 06 % dumpe2fs -x /dev/root 07 % e2image -r /dev/root 08 % e2fsck -y /dev/root 09 % dumpe2fs -x /dev/root 10 % e2image -r /dev/root 11 % apt-get install 12 % dmesg I've put the output and images of all these commands at . I hope they help you somehow.
