I've upped the severity of this one to "important". Sometimes, and I can't pin down when or why, either aptitude, apt or possibly dpkg leaves the /var/lib/dpkg/available file in a broken state. After this, dpkg refuses to function, and the only way of fixing it that I have found is to run "dselect update". It would make sense if aptitude/apt-get update were to always fully update the /var/lib/dpkg/available file to avoid this potential problem.
