Error Installing on Pi

[AHNE 0]

Raspberry Pi Model B with Raspbian Jessie installed.

 

I am following the directions from https://portal.domotz.com/portal/hardware/instructions/raspberry and am to the installation step. I enter the dpg.. line but get the following response/error:

 

dpkg:  error:  parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 0:

EOF after field name

 

Help?

Hi,

It seems your file /var/lib/dpkg/status is corrupted.

Probably the following link can help you. It should fit your use case, even if it is extracted from the ubuntu forum.

I recommend you make a copy of each file you are going to replace with the guide above.

After the recovery procedure, you should retry to install the domotz raspberry package.

 

Cheers.
