[Bug 620181] Re: auto complete broke with apt-get remove

[Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho]

Shouldn't this bug be considered resolved?  The line-counting bug is
fixed in oneiric, and rest of it isn't a dctrl-tools issue.

Title:
  auto complete broke with apt-get remove

Status in “dctrl-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dctrl-tools

  when i try to remove a package whether its through aptitude apt-get or
  dpkg i get the error:

  
  grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:17058: expected a colon

  
  now i tried to pull the lines out of the status file then apt-get -f install to reinstall them and it still gets that error.  i dont know what caused this but i noticed it after i was trying to remove teeworlds via: sudo apt-get remove tee[tab key]  then the error message.  im reporting this a s a bug cause i cant figure out how to fix it  i looked at similar issues and the solutions had no effect on it.  i also did a aptitude reinstall dctrl-tools. that reinstalled fine but still got the error.  i even tried to replace the stats file with the status.old. ones.
