Sure; my current /var/lib/dpkg/available file is here: http://www.gerg.ca/cthulhu.gerg.ca-var-lib-dpkg-available.gz If I download and uncompress this file I can reproduce the problem: $ wget http://www.gerg.ca/cthulhu.gerg.ca-var-lib-dpkg-available.gz $ gunzip cthulhu.gerg.ca-var-lib-dpkg-available.gz $ grep-dctrl blah cthulhu.gerg.ca-var-lib-dpkg-available grep-dctrl: cthulhu.gerg.ca-var-lib-dpkg-available:15510: expected a colon. Thanks for the quick response, and thanks for grep-dctrl in general!
