Nope, sorry :| However, most parse errors explain which line, exactly, the problem is on, and give you a general idea as to what the problem is. So you should be able to correct it. If you can't(and if you arn't positive, you damned well better not try ;), then feel free to paste the complete error you're getting, as well as the relevant package record from /var/lib/dpkg/status (the one that's not parseable). -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
