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. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages dselect depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.22 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-2 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand hi libstdc++6 4.1.1-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 dselect recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
