Did you edit that file by hand? Can you either provide the surrounding lines around line 14427 from the status file, or if you have privacy concerns given the packages that you have installed, could you send the status file privately to me? Did you experience other strange things happening on the system, I could suspect a problem in the hard disk, the file system or the RAM. Please check your logs and do run a file system and memory checker just to be sure. Thanks, Guillem
