This problem looks familiar, and I think you are right, the package database is corrupted. But I can't remember which files it deals with. You can try this and see if it works:
Code:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.backup

I don't think that is the right file though.


----- EDIT -----
Okay, I think it's one of these files:
Code:
sudo mv /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin.old
sudo mv /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin.old

Try doing that then run apt-get.
