Bug#156565: dpkg: strange corruption of available file



Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.4
Severity: important


# LC_ALL=C dpkg --merge-avail
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages
Updating available packages info, using /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages.
dpkg: parse error, in file /var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 112513 package powershell':
 field name ' must be followed by colon

Looking at the available file, I find that a number of package have the
following pattern in their stanza (Maint and Version lines only included for
context):
