Instalação do pacote: erro de análise do dpkg

Question

Sempre que tento instalar novos pacotes usando sudo apt-get install *package* , recebo o seguinte erro:

dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 95 package 'python-nova':
'Depends' field, invalid package name 'python:any': character ':' not allowed (only letters, digits and characters '-+._')
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

Alguém pode me fornecer etapas para resolver isso?

Quando eu digitei head -100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | tail -10 , recebi:

Recover package selection data

If /var/lib/dpkg/status becomes broken for any reason, the Debian system loses package selection data and suffers severely. Look for the old /var/lib/dpkg/status file at /var/lib/dpkg/status-old or /var/backups/dpkg.status.*.

Keeping /var/backups/ in a separate partition may be a good idea since this directory contains lots of important system data.

If the old /var/lib/dpkg/status file is not available, you can still recover information from directories in /usr/share/doc/.

# ls /usr/share/doc | \
  grep -v [A-Z] | \
  grep -v '^texmf$' | \
  grep -v '^debian$' | \
  awk '{print $1 " install"}' | \
  dpkg --set-selections

# dselect --expert # reinstall system, de-select as needed
