Another cause could be, that you machine does not have much RAM. FAI
is putting a ramdisk (tmpfs) on top of /var/lib/dpkg. If this gets
overcrowded, a process may not be able to write the status file, and
therefore it may be missing. How much RAM does your client have?

You can disable the ramdisk by setting
FAI_RAMDISK=/doesnotexist
in class/*.var
