Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lirc
This is a clean install of Ubuntu Intrepid on an Acer Aspire One machine. The only thing I've installed myself, other than the standard package updates suggested by synaptic since install, is "linux- backports-modules-intrepid". This update was suggested by Synaptic, so I'm assuming this must be widely used and installed. Here are the last few lines of /var/log/apt/term.log : Log started: 2009-02-09 22:49:06 (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/liblircclient0_0.8.4a-0ubuntu2~intrepid1_i386.deb (--unpack): files list file for package `tcpd' is missing final newline Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/liblircclient0_0.8.4a-0ubuntu2~intrepid1_i386.deb Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
