You've got a corrupted file. I'd suggest trying the backup first:
Code:
root
cd /var/lib/dpkg
mv status status.bak
mv status-old status
apt-get install qtwol
If that still fails, you'll need to edit the file, go to the appropriate line, and try to fix whatever the problem is - looks like there's an extra newline within the icon code.

If it works, delete the status.bak file.
