When i use dselect (Debian) 'update' to access http://refdb.sourceforge.net/debian/addons testing main i get the following message (error): dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/cache/apt/ available' near line 454484 package 'dbn-querydtd': field name 'This' must be followed by colon

update available list script returned error exit status 2.

Thanks for pointing out this problem with the addons repository. I
suspect the problem is with a malformed Packages.gz file in the repository
tree. Some package managers (e.g., aptitude) are able to cope with the
errors in the file but others cannot (e.g., dselect).

I've corrected the problem and uploaded a new repository. Please test it
and let me know if the problem is fixed.

aptitude'.
