    Re: apt-get Error

    The Solution is
    Code:
    sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.bad
    sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
    sudo apt-get update

    Re: apt-get Error

    Code:
    Conflicts: autoconf2.13 (<< 2.13-45), libscalar-list-utils-perl (<< 1:1.18-1), libxsloader-perl (<< 0.08-1)
    Is what my Conflicts line looks like

    Code:
    Conflicts: autoconf2.13 (<< 2.13-45), libscalar-list-utils-perl (<< 1:1.18-1), libxsloader-perl (<< 0.08-1), (<< 0.8)
    Is what yours looks like.
    I would edit the file and remove the part highlighted in red.
    Make a backup of the file before editing,just in case you mess up.

    Good Luck
