I was about to upgrade to debian 1.3. Read the neccesary changes
from the file README.txt, and after executing 

dpkg --clear-avail
dpkg -i ldso_*.deb

no more dpkg actions succeed :-(( They all say

dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 1:
 invalid package name (must start with an alphanumeric)

no matters what the file contains. 

The version of dpkg working in the system is  1.4.0.5 

I suspect of ld.so, as dpkg worked before without a glitch.

Please mail me the way to override the problem.

Thanks.

	As this bug is only there when upgrading to Debian 1.3, it can
be closed it when hamm is released if it doesn't exist in hamm.
