broken /var/lib/dpkg/status
Greetings,
apt-get complains:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 18124 package `ksysguard':
`Depends' field, reference to `xlibs': version contains ` '
Indeed, the status file at that line looks like this
Replaces: kdebase (<< 4:3.0.0), kdebase-doc (<< 4:3.0.0), kpm (<< 4:3.0.0)
Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.3.2-6.2), libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.16),

libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxrender1, zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1),
ksysguardd (= 4:3.3.2-1sarge1)
Is there a graceful way to fix it? TIA,
