> Removed libkabc4 ran commands which now says libofx6:amd64 is missing final
newline
I have found some threads online where people experienced this issue. In
some cases there was only one corrupted package and removing
[thepackage].list was enough. In other cases many packages were corrupted,
like your situation, and the issue was fixed by fixing or removing all of
them, often by automating with a script. Here[1] is such a case.
Unfortunately, I have not found any cases where it was discovered why/how
this happened.
In [1], the files were otherwise valid, and just for some reason missing a
final newline character. In at least one other case I found, the file(s)
were binary garbage. Try opening `/var/lib/dpkg/info/libofx6` and see what
it looks like. If it is a list of filepaths then it is possible that the
script in [1] and reinstalling the packages whose *list files you've already
removed will fix the issue.

It is good that to know that this is at least an option. I don't really
understand what the problem is or how these files have become invalid, so I
wouldn't be comfortable recommending the script if reinstalling weren't an
option as a backup plan. See what `/var/lib/dpkg/info/libofx6` looks like
before deciding what to do.
