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

[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?

Thanks.
