All,

When I try to run update manager on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, I'm getting the error:

Code:

installArchives() failed: dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 17840 package 'x11-utils': newline in field name `Maintaine2b6f877c886859d7d65518292b'
Error in function:

If I run
Code:

sudo apt-get clean all
from the terminal, I get:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

I've searched the forums but can't see to find anything with this exact error.

Please help!

TIA,
