-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: dpkg Version: 1.15.8.3
Seems that the new dpkg cannot read /var/lib/dpkg/status anymore. Trying to downgrade I get # dpkg -i dpkg_1.15.8.2_amd64.deb dpkg-dev_1.15.8.2_all.deb dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 4099 package 'virtualbox': error in Version string `1.6.6-35336_Debian_lenny': invalid character in revision number # dpkg -l dpkg-query: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 4099 package 'virtualbox': error in Version string `1.6.6-35336_Debian_lenny': invalid character in revision number Any hint how to get out of this mess without corrupting the database would be highly appreciated.
