[Bug 773022] Re: Failed to upgrade to 11.04: dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 14082 package 'kde-plasmoid-cwp': junk after word in `priority' field

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package dpkg - 1.16.0~ubuntu7.1

---------------
dpkg (1.16.0~ubuntu7.1) natty-proposed; urgency=low

  * src/packages.c: fix use of --force-depends so that it works again for
    foreign arch packages.  Thanks to Raphaël Hertzog for the fix.
    LP: #767634.
  * regenerate lib/dpkg/trigdeferred.c from lib/dpkg/trigdeferred.l in
    the source, to ensure we don't end up with breakage from an out-of-date
    intermediate file as happened in oneiric.

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * d84b36a81088721b340e52664aa2c3379fea2a9a: be less strict in the face of
    unknown Priority: fields in /var/lib/dpkg/status, so dpkg doesn't fail
    to run on systems whose contents were previously permitted.
    LP: #773022.

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  - regression test should be enough, if a copy of kde-plasmoid-cwp can be obtained and upgrade wiht
    that would be the perfect test

  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Followed the upgrade process after getting the upgrade notification in
  KPackageKit.

  Upgrade packages were downloaded and the installation began. Upgrade
  aborted at some point. I have attached the files from /var/log/dist-
  upgrade (wasn't able to copy apt-term.log - system reported it as
  unreadable)
