错误：解析文件 '/var/lib/dpkg/status' 靠近第 55497 行的包 'indicator-displex'

Question

从 Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) 升级到 12.04LTS (Precise Pangolin) 后，会弹出一个窗口，提示升级失败，我应该运行sudo dpkg --configure -a.

运行该命令给了我：

sudo dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 55497 package 'indicator-displex':
 blank line in value of field 'Description

尝试运行apt-get install -f给我带来了许多依赖错误以及相同的 dpkg 错误。

Answer 1

查看/var/lib/dpkg/status第 55497 行错误中提到的文件后，我看到了以下内容：

Package: indicator-displex
Priority: optional
Section: GTK, system, admin
Installed-Size: 1524
Maintainer: Arick McNiel <arickmcniel AT yahoo DOT com>
Architecture: all
Version: 0.1
Depends: python, python-gtk2, python-central (>= 0.6.1), python-notify, python-appindicator, compiz
Size: 130748
Description: DisPlex
 AppIndicator to interface with Compiz / Xrandr / Emerald.
 .
 The Displex (indicator-displex) application provides an AppIndicator to the display
 interfaces of Compiz / Emerald / and Gnome Display Manager.  In doing so, it hopes
 to provide a product that is helpful for those applications without an AppIndicator
 interface AND to minimize icons by combinine some functionality of the
 gnome-display-manger AppIndicator icon.

 DisPlex has the following features:
 -Uses the new Ubuntu AppIndicator interface
 -Provides interface for: COMPIZ, EMERALD, GNOME Display Properties
 -Enables you to change decorators from the AppIndicator Tray
 -Enables you to activate / deactivate Compiz Effects
 -Enables you to switch window manager
 -Provides the ability to hide/show desktop icons

我备份了该文件，然后在文本编辑器中打开它。（sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/status，然后:55497转到该行。）

.在“DisPlex 具有以下功能：”之前的空行中添加一个单一字符解决了该问题。

（如果不熟悉 vi...这里有一个提示：A追加行，添加空格和句点ESC以退出插入模式，然后:wq写入并退出）

然后我就能跑了sudo dpkg --configure -a。运行后sudo apt-get -f install，我看到该文件出现类似的错误/var/lib/dpkg/available。.我在错误中提到的行上向该文件添加了一个，现在它基本上可以工作了。

我遇到了与此错误相同的最后一个问题。

Unpacking libatk-adaptor-schemas (from .../libatk-adaptor-schemas_2.4.0-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb) ...
