I was trying to setup hotplug a few weeks ago to connect my ipaq to my linux host which i eventually gave up on and uninstalled hotplug etc.
apt worked fine since then up until today when i went to install another package. Now whenever i try to install or remove any package with apt or dpkg i get errors similar to the following (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libvncauth0_3.3.3r2-21_i386.deb (--unpack): files list file for package `hotplug' is missing final newline Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvncauth0_3.3.3r2-21_i386.deb Processing was halted because there were too many errors. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) the error is clear on what is wrong however i'm not sure what file i have to edit to fix this problem. if anyone can tell me how to fix this or explain what might have caused it i'd be greatful Thanks Anthony -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
