	Remove the first line, as it is a colon alone (in the file you sent, at 
least).  I do not see any other problem, apart of having lots of multiline 
fields (again, this is what I have seen in the attached file you sent).  You 
need a modern dpkg in order to deal with them.  The only multiline field that 
works for sure in every Debian around is Description, so try to join 
Build-Depends in one line, and the same for Depends (although I doubt a 
binary file carries *such* a huge list of manual Depends:...I think that it 
should be resolved through the use of ${shlibs:Depends} and they are just 
bogus.

	As I said before, *plese* tell us which Debian release you are using (potato, 
woody, etch, testing...).

	Best regards,
