"dpkg: failed to open `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for writing status information: Read-only file system"

I can not install or uninstall anything. Can someone help me please?
I didn't spot that read-only part, you should wrap that kind of text in codes.
And yes, it is a very common problem with our N900s which can simply be solved with:
Code:
root
umount /home/user/MyDocs
fsck -a /home/user/MyDocs
reboot
I always get that read-only crash when using transmission, or recording 720p.
