Any suggestions? I think that means that the file is corrupted. *Why* is a good question, but you can try running "dpkg --clear-avail" and see if that solves the problem (I'd suggest first making a backup of the file for future reference / troubleshooting / bugreporting), as per here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/326037 Celejar -- foffl.sourceforge.net - Feeds OFFLine, an offline RSS/Atom aggregator mailmin.sourceforge.net - remote access via secure (OpenPGP) email ssuds.sourceforge.net - A Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
