Hi,
Looks like your status file has been corrupted. First, copy
the status file to a safe place (% cp -a /var/lib/dpkg/status ~/.)
Then look for line 12376 (using your favourite editor). I don't use
quota, so I can't help with the spcifics; but what has happened is
that some thing that should lokk like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: quota
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: admin
[...]
Conffiles:
/some/file/name 4cb6de6e2e2f1350b0410cf1e47ff05b
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now looks like (with the addition of a newline, maybe?)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: quota
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: admin
[...]
Conffiles:
/some/file/name
4cb6de6e2e2f1350b0410cf1e47ff05b
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Concatenate the lines, and things should get better. If this
is confusing, please show us lines 12356-12396 from
/var/lib/dpkg/status, and we'll take a stab at cleaning up the file
for you.
