base-passwd on its own couldn't possibly be responsible for its own dpkg-managed files list (/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.list) missing a final newline. This is almost certainly filesystem corruption, but reassigning to dpkg in case there's anything that can be done there. > On Mon, Feb 17, 2020 at 10:31:25AM +0100, Jean-Marc LACROIX wrote: [...] > > root@vm-ssh-190-factory:~# apt-get install --no-install-recommends > > python-apt -y -q > > Reading package lists... > > Building dependency tree... > > Reading state information... > > The following additional packages will be installed: > > dirmngr gnupg gnupg-l10n gnupg-utils gpg gpg-agent gpg-wks-client > > gpg-wks-server gpgconf gpgsm libapt-inst2.0 libassuan0 libksba8 libnpth0 > > pinentry-curses > > python-apt-common > > Suggested packages: > > dbus-user-session libpam-systemd pinentry-gnome3 tor parcimonie xloadimage > > scdaemon pinentry-doc python-apt-dbg python-apt-doc > > Recommended packages: > > lsb-release iso-codes > > The following NEW packages will be installed: > > dirmngr gnupg gnupg-l10n gnupg-utils gpg gpg-agent gpg-wks-client > > gpg-wks-server gpgconf gpgsm libapt-inst2.0 libassuan0 libksba8 libnpth0 > > pinentry-curses python- > > python-apt-common > > 0 upgraded, 17 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. > > Need to get 0 B/7575 kB of archives. > > After this operation, 16.8 MB of additional disk space will be used. > > debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed > > Selecting previously unselected package libassuan0:amd64. > > dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: > > files list file for package 'base-passwd' is missing final newline > > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) > > root@vm-ssh-190-factory:~# -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
