Seth Arnold (seth-arnold) wrote : Bug is not a security issue

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

affects: openjdk-7 (Ubuntu) → dpkg (Ubuntu)
information type: Private Security → Public

This isn't a bug with dpkg rather there is something wrong with the files provided by the package libmono-sy3tem-xml4.0-cil which has corrupted your /var/lib/dpkg/status file.

affects: dpkg (Ubuntu) → ubuntu

Presumably you fixed this problem long ago and the report can be closed?
