Bug#646585: Package acerhkgui has got no dots in blank lines in Description field, causing errors in dpkg
Package: acerhkgui Version: latest (squeeze, 2011-10-25) Hi, When I tried apt-get dist-upgrade today, dpkg was reporting some errors like blank line in value of field 'Description' in var/lib/dpkg/status package `acerhkgui`I'm not sure if the message was exactly written as I wrote it, because I couldn't finish the upgrade process (and thus couldn't install reportbug to submit the bug regularly), so I'm sorry about that. However, I solved the bug by editting 2 files /var/lib/dpkg/status and /var/lib/dpkg/available, first finding the package acerhkgui, then correcting its Description field which was like: a b cc and should be like this: a b . cc . Anyway, it was an easy fix, but I thought it would be nice to report that little bug :) Cheers :)

Im really sorry, my mistake, its testing, not squeeze. I use a lot of boxes and I inertially said squeeze, since I use that one the most. So, its testing (in /etc/apt/sources.list) and not squeeze. Sorry again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

(such as sourceforge) I've done dpkg -l | grep acer, and found acerhk-source and acerhkgui. Those must be the drivers that I was trying to get working, for my wireless card on my laptop. I'm guessing I've misplaced this bug report :) I'm sorry for this, I've copied the URL of this report to the developers of AcerHK and I hope they will investigate that thing further.
