#2 dselect won't parse debian package files

[Anonymous]

Hi.

I get the following error when updating the list of
packages with dselect and having selected the testing
distro :

dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/cache/apt/available'
near line 449321 package `libperl-refdb-makestyle':
field name `This' must be followed by colon

update available list script returned error exit status 2.

/etc/apt/sources.list contains :
deb http://refdb.sourceforge.net/debian/release testing
main

However, apt-get update works fine...

I'm not sure if it's dselect's fault, but it's the
first time I encounter such a problem...

Hope this helps.
