while trying to install linux firmware this error came up.:

After this operation, 8,249 kB of additional disk space will be used.
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 2093 package 'x11-xkb-utils':
 field name `h��@' must be followed by colon
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

Any idea how to fix it?

What version of Ubuntu are you on? – Thomas Ward Mar 01 '16 at 21:06
Please provide the actual command and place you downloaded the package from if any and the version of Ubuntu you are using. – Rinzwind Mar 02 '16 at 20:19
