If the file is archived, you need to unzip it first. If not, you can try with the next backup file. Try to run update now and see if the problem is fixed. You can list it out: ls -l /var/backups/dpkg.status*Ĭopy the latest backup: cp /var/backups/dpkg.status.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status The backup files are stored in /var/backups directory. What you need to do now is to get a backup of this status file and use it.

Make a backup first: mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.old Now, you could but you shouldn’t just delete it straightaway. Handling this error is slightly different and slightly more complicated than the previous one.

This time, the issue is with /var/lib/dpkg/status. Error!Į: Encountered a section with no Package: headerĮ: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/statusĮ: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
