It seems like /var/lib/dpkg/available is corrupt ? Does aptitude update help ?
If not, 'dpkg --clear-avail' , could help.
Thanks for the reply. I got some help on IRC and dealt with the problem.
The recommended approach was to remove /var/lib/dpkg/available and run
dselect update which regenerates it, which worked. Maybe aptitude update
would work too.
I should have posted to the list saying this query was resolved. Sorry.
