The new dpkg-1.9.20-2 prints the messages 

Reading version
This is Mac OS X 10.1.3

This breaks fink scanpackages, because it writes many copies of these
messages into the Packages.gz files. These can then no longer be parsed
by apt-get update.

On the fink compile server:

% zcat /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/Packages.gz |
grep "Reading version" |wc
     160     320    2560 

On the client machine:

% sudo apt-get update
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Unable to parse package file
/sw/var/lib/apt/lists/_Volumes_Software_sw_fink_dists_unstable_main_binary-darwin-powerpc_Packages
 (1)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
