Problem with dselect
Hi
When I update the package list wit dselect I get the following error
message:
Fetched 1B in 5s (0B/s)
Reading package lists... Done
Merging available information
Replacing available packages info, using /var/cache/apt/available.
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/cache/apt/available' near line 108494 package
`beep-media-player':
too few values in file details field `Size' (compared to others)
update available list script returned error exit status 2.
Press <enter> to continue.
This is only a problem in amd64. I tried to copy /var/cache/apt/available
to /var/lib/dpkg/available and edit it by hand. Then I had problem with some
other packages but at last it worked. Therefore I guess it is a problem with
dselect, not with the corresponding packages.
Does anyone get the same error?
Thanks
Gudjon
