Hello,

I did try both sudos (twice, actually) but it does absolutely nothing. I
got no message at all from the terminal afterwards and Synaptic still
doesn't manage to reinstall or update netcat packages, always with the
same message : 
Lecture de la base de données... 95%dpkg : erreur fatale irréversible,
abandon :
la liste des fichiers pour le paquet « netcat-traditional » n'a pas de
retour à la ligne en fin de fichier

I wonder if I just shouldn't reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 from scratch...
