Package: libc6-dev-amd64-i386-cross
Version: 2.9-4
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When I try to update list of packages in dselect, I get the following error:
dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/cache/apt/available' near line 806093
package 'libc6-dev-amd64-i386-cross':
duplicate value for `Provides' field
update available list script returned error exit status 2.
It seems that libc6-dev-amd64-i386-cross really has two "Provides" fields:

Which confuses dselect.

This was a dpkg-cross bug which is now fixed in unstable and in testing.
You need to regenerate the -cross package so that the new version of
dpkg-cross can fix the Provides: and prevent a duplicate field
appearing in the cross package.
If there are other -cross packages that have duplicate Provides:, those
would need to be rebuilt and installed as well.
See #578613
