dselect/dpkg -- status/available file problems

[Paul Miller <paul@3dillusion.com>]

I keep getting errors like this (with other packages too)

dselect: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 12376
package `quota':
 field name `4cb6de6e2e2f1350b0410cf1e47ff05b' must be followed by colon

when I use dselect... when this happens, I usaully copy the backup file
and it works again...(for awhile at least)

I'm using version 1.4.0.19
