update-manager fails to update gnome-pilot

There is a "libxr%nder1," dependency in the record for gnome-pilot. This
might be triggered by some hardware problem (memory, harddisk) or file
system corruption. I close the bug against update-manager now.
Cheers,
Michael

Tthanks for your bugreport.
This sounds like your /var/lib/dpkg/status file is corrupt. Can you
please attach it?
Thanks,
