Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dctrl-tools

After installation of XMind from http://www.xmind.net/, grep-status is
broken. This in turn leads to breakage of tab-completion of the aptitude
reinstall command. The error looks like this:

r...@eekkater:~# aptitude reinstall grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:11728: 
expected a colon
.grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:11728: expected a colon
.
Display all 490 possibilities? (y or n)
r...@eekkater:~# 


The section of /var/lib/dpkg/status in question is the following:

Is there a problem with grep-status or is XMind metadata malformed
(which should have prevented it from installing)?
