doc-linux-html: missing MDsum field in /var/lib/dpkg/available

2001-10-28 Thread Karsten M. Self
I'm getting the following error when attempting to use dpkg: dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 65755 package `doc-linux-html': empty file details field `MD5sum' Is anyone seeing similar? Bug against dpkg or doc-linux-html? And...is there a workaround?
