Nope, but sometimes it is obvious where the corruption in the file is, and the file can be hand-edited accordingly to get it to a state where dpkg works again. I've done it successfully a couple of times before.
Definately don't move the file out of the way or delete it though. The status file tells dpkg what packages are installed on the system. -- could not initiate package info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
