Since about April 3 I've had a problem that I haven't had time to look into until now:

dpkg: parse error, in file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 12823:
invalid package name (character `' not allowed - only letters, digits and -+._ allowed)

pico +12823 /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status:

Package: fink-buildlock-kgpg-3.5^N1-11
Status: purge ok not-installed
Section: unknown
Architecture: darwin-powerpc


This is on 10.3.9 with these versions of fink present:

fink_0.24.99.cvs-20060327.2110_darwin-powerpc.deb
fink_0.24.99.cvs-20060329.1826_darwin-powerpc.deb
fink_0.24.99.cvs-20060330.2351_darwin-powerpc.deb
fink_0.24.99.cvs-20060331.0402_darwin-powerpc.deb
fink_0.24.99.cvs-20060403.1310_darwin-powerpc.deb

... and this:

(i)     fink    0.24.99.cvs-20060414.1304       The Fink package manager

I expect that there is more than one way to fix this, but I would ask for guidance as to the best way to do so.
