Try restoring the file from /var/backups -- the backup can be out of
date, though (ie. it may not reflect some recent changes of package
states).
I've gotten mail from cron the last three days about bad lines in
/var/lib/dpkg/status on one of my machines; the first two times, I
opened it up in vi and corrected the illegal characters. Today,
there was a second error:
---
/etc/cron.daily/dwww:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status
