Mind you, I'm not _that_ stupid. Here's the output:
femto:~[0]# head /var/lib/dpkg/available
Package: telnet
Status: install ok installed
Priority: standard
Section: net
Installed-Size: 204
Maintainer: Herbert Xu <herbert@debian.org>
Source: netkit-telnet
Version: 0.17-16
Replaces: netstd
Provides: telnet-client
femto:~[0]#
If you see any corruption, tell me where.
As the error message says: value for `status' field not allowed in this context
I was rather asking on this list, what value Status: is supposed to contain.
Since this is more a question about the internals of dpkg and Debian, I posted to -devel.
