It seems your status file (where the system creates track of all installed packages) is corrupted. This may happen after a system crash but you should also check whether your hard disk is ok[1]. The system automatically makes several backup copies of this file, so normally it should be possible to recover from this.
Try the following in a terminal: This copies the current file into your home directory (if everything works in the end, you can delete this file): cp /var/lib/dpkg/status ~/ This overwrites the current file with the backup sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status Now try the update again. If (and only if) it still does not work, there is yet another backup you could use, try: sudo cp /var/backups/dpkg.status.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status And then: try the update again.
