apt-get problems on Wheezy

I am having some troubles with apt-get. I did an apt-get update and an apt-get upgrade. Some dependencies did not download, and so I had to do `apt-get -f install` to fix that. The thing is I get an error about /var/lib/dpkg/available

Code:

root@hayek:~# apt-get -f install

After this operation, 26.6 kB of additional disk space will be used.

dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 43223 package 'libatk1.0-0':
 duplicate value for `Package' field
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

It seems that the apt-get update has corrupted the database of available packages. I might just be able to run apt-get update tommorow and find the problem gone. The thing is I cannot install any new packages while I wait.
