At the bottom of the wiki page it gives you another thing to do, which
applies exactly in the situation that you have described:
* Installing the buildlock package when |dpkg| is confused.
Symptom: An error message like the following:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 537
package `antlr-2.7.4-2': missing version
This error occurs if a build ends ungracefully, e.g. if the machine
loses power in the middle of it. In such an event the buildlock
package isn't toggled to "not-installed" in |dpkg|'s status file,
whereas |fink| doesn't think it exists. |dpkg| expects that any
package that shows up as "installed" needs to have a version plus
other information.
To fix this you'll need to edit |/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status| as root,
go to the line number that is complaining, and change /install ok
installed/ to /purge ok not-installed/.
