    installArchives() failed: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 17721 package 'python-gmenu':

    `instal|ed' is not allowed for third (status) word in `status' field

    Code:
    gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status
    Then use Find and look for python-gmenu and it should look like
    Package: python-gmenu
    Status: install ok installed
    Priority: optional
    Section: python
    Installed-Size: 184
    Maintainer: Ubuntu Desktop Team <ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com>
    Architecture: amd64
    `instal|ed' is not allowed for third (status) word in `status' field

    In the status line should say installed not instal|ed.

    Good Luck
