Boot grml from live-cd and run 'dpkg --list file-rc' on your
harddisk system (chroot into it). If it returns 0.8.8 please run

wget http://grml.org/repos/file-rc_0.8.7_all.deb
dpkg -i file-rc_0.8.7_all.deb

and reboot your system - this should fix the problem (if it is
related to the file-rc bug in the Debian package). The old file-rc
version stays in the grml repository preventing users from broken
Debian upgrades until the problem is solved (version 0.8.10 should
be that). Seems you hit the few hours were I wasn't aware of this
Debian problem (thanks for pointer, tube), sorry.
