Been trying to install git-core package for almost more than half a day now. Every time I do, I get this error:

dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 0:

newline in field name `../../../../../share/pyshared/UpdateManager/Core/__init__.py'

I've also tried running sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install --fix-missing. Even tried rebooting and cleaning the apt-get cache, still doesnt work.
