Hi, there seems to be a problem with /var/lib/dpkg/available around line 20261. Can you open /var/lib/dpkg/available and post back here line 20261 as well as about 5 lines prior and 5 lines after 20261 . To do this press Alt+F2 and enter in the box

gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/available then when gedit has opened the file, select Search>Go to line and enter 20261.

seems that removing 'available' and rename 'available-old' works I already update using the program.

Thanks all!
