The version of fsck built into backupmenu and also Maemo are ancient, you will get better results from a PC.

Did you try to move the file, thereby not erasing the file completely but testing the read/write abilities of the rootfs.

You could also check the location of the real file
Code:
ls -al /var/lib/dpkg/info/mafw-tracker-source.postinst
Good luck!
I have a linux PC, just how do I do a (complete) file system check? Presumably using one of the usb options on BackupMenu? Which option? I thought that these facilities leave some of the file systems mounted to the N900 & hence not fsck checkable?

Tried to move the file, got the same error.
ls -al also gives the same error..
