Cydia Problem.

[ame235]

hello,

i have a problem with my cydia.

this is what i get:

iPhone:~ root# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
sudo
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/112kB of archives.
After unpacking 4096B disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 23 package `sudo':
field name `/etc/sudoers' must be followed by colon
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
iPhone:~ root#

i get this for all other installs also.

what is the problem, and how can i solve it?
I already tried:
- apt-get clean
- various reboots
- visudo for editing that /etc/sudoers file

nothing worked.

PLZ, anyone, help !

Ok, solved alone.

For some reason there is a status-old file in the /var/lib/dpkg directory.
so i replaced old one with that one.

ls /var/lib/dpkg
cp status status_bak
rm status
cp status-old status

---
if everithing goes ok like it went for me then:

rm status_bak

dunno why i got in this situation,
but if i did, some others will.

Hope this will solve somebody's problem.
