Package: dselect
Version: 1.13.22
Severity: minor

At the end of a 'dselect update', I've started getting this output:

dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/cache/apt/available' near line 6353 package 
`apcd':
 too few values in file details field `Size' (compared to others)

It's unhappy about something, but it's unclear what -- the field in question 
reads,

 Filename: pool/main/a/apcd (0.6b.nr-2)/apcd_0.6b.nr-2+b1_amd64.deb
 Size: 20062
 MD5sum: 920f5be0fa4f42536570741b9f13e751

which seems to be correct and is certainly a reasonable value; moreover, the 
apcd
package hasn't been updated in the last four years, so why the fuss now? 
Yesterday
dpkg had the same unfounded complaint about beep-media-player.
