This description has been in the repositories for a long time and no one else reported any problem. Without more information, like the offending dpkg db, it's rather difficult to track this down in case it's really a dpkg bug. It could well be a corrupted status file or similar. Marking as unreproducible and moreinfo for now, otherwise I guess we should close it after a while. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
