It seems that your /var/lib/dpkg/status file is corrupt. Perhaps if you posted it somewhere online someone might hazard a guess as to what happened. Fortunately, dpkg keeps a backup in /var/lib/dpkg/status-old. You can cp it over the /var/lib/dpkg/status file and the application installer shouldn't complain any more. Did you get this error the first time you ran the app installer after reflashing, or did you try to install some package and got the error afterwards?
