It seems like /var/lib/dpkg/available is corrupt ? Does aptitude update help ?

If not,  'dpkg --clear-avail' , could help.

Thanks for the reply. I got some help on IRC and dealt with the problem. The recommended approach was to remove /var/lib/dpkg/available and run dselect update which regenerates it, which worked. Maybe aptitude update would work too.

I should have posted to the list saying this query was resolved. Sorry.

                                                 Regards, Faheem Mitha.
