I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 from a liveUSB due to a problem with my HDD. Today I was trying to install Steam, but the installation failed every time. Some testing later, I noticed every installation of anything at all fails now, because of dpkg
throwing the following error:
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 31:
missing package name
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
I also can't seem to manage to uninstall and reinstall dpkg
, but that may just be my poor Linux skillz.
Any ideas why this is happening, and how to fix it?
