back.
Who can i detect and resolve this problem?

hey.
one of the recent debianplanet articles prompted me to tidy up an email
i've had as an on going work for a couple years. basically everytime i
convince some one to give debian a try and i have a little cheat sheet i
mail to them to help them get started.

ok basically when you remove any debian package theres a script called
prerm that gets run. In this case it's probably trying to shutdown the
database or something. But for some reason it's seg faulting which is
not a good sign ( Is this the bit where I get to bag out mysql and carry

E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/dpkg/status (1)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
