Read-only file system

There is something wrong with your file system - it looks like failed SD card.

None of the filesystems are mounted read only, and I can read/write files to / with no problems.

I was able to get the other packages updated, and the unneeded ones removed, so the SD card is definitely not bad. Now I'm just stuck with a half-installed linux-image-next-sunxi package. If try and update I get the below errors. Is there any way to uninstall the half installed package?

Your first log shows clearly that it was in readonly mode until you rebooted.

Once rebooted, system has done an fsck to recover it, but probably there are tons of files that are not recovered to their original state...

It is suggested to try a new SD installed from scratch !

Nice, so since you were able to rule out hardware issues now you just need to find the reason why your OS decided to turn your filesystem into read-only (that usually happens if filesystem errors are too severe to be corrected on the fly). Anyone ever dealt more than once with this situation will suggest the same: your SD card is most probably the culprit, so better get a new one, test it thoroughly as outlined in the documentation with either F3 or H2testw use the latest backup from before the upgrade and try it again.

I created a /forcefsck and rebooted to force a fsck of / and it completed with no errors.  Running tune2fs even shows that the filesystem state is clean:

I've downgraded to the earlier kernel, see here:

 

Just to follow up on this. I replaced the SD card and then checked out the card that gave me errors. After reformatting the SD card and running H2testw it came back with the following:

Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 32.2 MByte/s
Reading speed: 69.4 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4

So as I suspected, the SD card was not failing.
