Try using older file status,execute the following commands:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.bad
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo apt-get update

If the above solution doesn't work try removing all designated files using(one at a time):
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update
