Hi!

Here is a small problem with this package (Or I think it comes from the package)

# dpkg -l
dpkg-query: erreur d'analyse syntaxique, dans le fichier « /var/lib/dpkg/status 
» près de la ligne 1760 paquet « libsasl2-2 »:
  le nom de champ « suse » doit être suivi de deux points (:)

In english it says that the field "suse" should be followed by ':'
but in fact there's a space missing at the beginning of the line.

In the Description:
   .
   Any of: ANONYMOUS, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, GSSAPI (MIT or Heimdal
   Kerberos 5), NTLM, OTP, PLAIN, or LOGIN can be used. If you intend to
-suse this package on a server that provides SASL authentication, then
+ suse this package on a server that provides SASL authentication, then
   you must install some of the libsasl2-modules* packages.
