Did you do anything with the Application Manager after flashing the
new image?

This looks bad. I do unfortunately do not know what is happening, but
I have seen too many reports about corrupted /var/lib/dpkg/status
files to feel comfortable.

If it is possible for you, please flash your device again and tell me
if that solved the problem.

If you don't want to reflash, try replacing /var/lib/dpkg/status with
/var/lib/dpkg/status-old.

Yes, I added some repositories and instaled some applications. One of
them who gave me a problem was maemo-mapper from the extra repository.
Maybe the file get corrupted when the maemo-mapper failed to install.
Unfortunately, I don't know what happened exactly.

I reflashed my device and now it works perfectly

Unfortunalely I didn't install the terminal before the problem appeared
thus I hadn't access to those files.

Thanks!
