Using Debian unstable and did an update last night, hit a snag.

dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 2483 package 'gstreamer0.10-nice':
`Depends' field, reference to `libc6': version contains ` '
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)


Line 2483 of /var/lib/dpkg/status contains this:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.59, libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.14.0), libgstreamer0.10-0 (>= 0.10.15), libnice0 (>= 0.0.1), libxml2 (>= 2.6.27)

So I changed line 2483 to this:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.59), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.14.0), libgstreamer0.10-0 (>= 0.10.15), libnice0 (>= 0.0.1), libxml2 (>= 2.6.27)

and it worked. Was this borked on just my system or is this a bug that needs filed somewhere? And if so, would I file it against gstreamer0.10-nice or dpkg or something else?



I also ran into problems in /var/lib/dpkg/status with "Package: procps" having typos of "Maintainerz" missing the colon and having a "z". And typo "Reco>mends:". Where should those get reported?

thank you!
