Bug#429173: Fixing this problem...
I also experienced this problem:
aptitude -s dist-upgrade (Note: same output for apt-get -s dist-upgrade):
> Reading package lists... Error!
> E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
> E: Error occurred while processing libkleopatra0 (NewVersion1)
> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
# file /var/lib/dpkg/status
/var/lib/dpkg/status: UTF-8 Unicode English text, with very long lines
# ll /var/lib/dpkg/status
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2426072 Jun 18 07:47 /var/lib/dpkg/status
and the file appears normal.
dpkg can read /var/lib/dpkg/status:
# dpkg -s libkleopatra0

Description: KDE GnuPG interface libraries
This library is used by several KDE applications to interface to the
GnuPG program.
.
This is the runtime package for programs that use the libkleopatra library.
.
This package is part of the official KDE pim module.
# dpkg -p gdm
works as expected.
Fix:
Modified /etc/apt/apt.conf
I had a line which read:
APT::Cache-Limit 16777216;
I modified this to read:
APT::Cache-Limit "42123456";
As per suggestion at http://wiki.tryphon.org/debian_package.
Both apt-get and aptitude now work.
