[ubuntu-in] can't install anything, many errors
Hi, I haven't been able to install any packages for over a month now. The situation is beyond urgent, and quite ridiculous since I can't continue any of my work. The system kept saying that the file containing list of files for libtheora0 and libtracker-gtk0 were missing every time I run apt-get. I fixed that by getting the same from elsewhere. Now when I tried re-installing dpkg itself, it says: dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `libtiff4' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu16_i386.deb (--unpack): files list file for package `libtrackerclient0' is missing final newline Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu16_i386.deb Processing was halted because there were too many errors. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ I think a few files might be corrupted in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ which is pictured here: http://sand.a3ai.com/images/dpkginfo.png Kindly propose me a solution that will work.
