Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 After a recent update, apt-get fails on any operation with the following error:
Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/dpkg/status (1) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. I have provided my current (broken) status file (gzipped) here : http://www.uchian.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/apt-problems/status.gz And I have provided the last working status file here : http://www.uchian.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/apt-problems/dpkg.status.2.gz And the diff between the two files here : http://www.uchian.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/apt-problems/diff The diff between the two files is only 90 lines long :-) so hopefully this will be of help for tracking down the problem. -- Jason Wood Persistence is a virtue
