Good evening.
This problem occured when trying to update using the update manager. A problem occured so I cleared all the cache and tried to update once again this time in terminal, and it spat out:
dpkg: error:
parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 6449
missing package name
After opening up 'status' with gedit and going to line 6449, I found that nothing was on that line but the following was before and after it.
This package contains the Mono System.Configuration library for CLI 4.0.

<<<<--- LINE 6449 is obviously not on the file, but I can't see whats wrong here? anybody have an idea?
Thanks!
Edit: I have tried running:
sudo apt-get install --fix-missing
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
But no good...
