files list file for package `libglib-perl' is missing final newline This is causing problems with a fair few packages now... I'm not an ubuntu dev but this is annoying so I'm going to make some time to look into it. -- Fails to install - bad .deb file [amd64] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

O.K, I moved the bad file and everything sorted itself out. I ran a file system check and everything looks fine the forums have a few tales of woe involving broken list files for packages so perhaps someone should look into that. Either way, this bug can be marked CLOSED.

[Bug 139888] Re: Fails to install - bad .deb file [amd64]
Ok, so obviously the problem is in libglib-perl. I had a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/libglib-perl.list and its got a fair bit of crap in there (by crap I mean bad characters, random smatters of bad data) ** Attachment added: My broken file http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9292975/libglib-perl.list -- Fails to install - bad .deb file [amd64] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The problem was not with the cabextract package. Just some file corruption ** Changed in: cabextract (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Fails to install - bad .deb file [amd64] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
