Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
Trying to apply updates today, I received the following error:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 41262 in package
`scim'
:
newline in field name `Orig"'
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 41262 package `scim'
:
newline in field name `Orig"'
I can now no longer install any packages.
