Package: cme
Version: 1.013-2
Severity: normal

Has something changed in dpkg? This doesn't look nice:

% cme fix dpkg-control
cme: using Dpkg::Control model
cme: running fix on dpkg-control configuration...
Reading package lists... Error!
flAbsPath on /var/lib/apt/var/lib/dpkg/status failed - realpath (2: No such file or directory)
Could not open file  - open (2: No such file or directory)
Problem opening 
The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Backend error: Can't call method "get" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/Config/Model/Dpkg/Dependency.pm line 716.


(Interestingly I've noted the same in pepperflashplugin-nonfree: #833643)

Cheers,
gregor
