Re: [Question #77185]: Error while updating: missing final newline on a package

 

Question #77185 on update-manager in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/77185

marcobra (Marco Braida) proposed the following answer:
Better...

We can try this (i'm not sure of the path of the file acpi-support.list
to remove, but we can try):

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and
type or better copy and paste:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpi-support.list

press enter, if the system ask you a password give your user password,
you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter

Then copy and paste the row below time into terminal, and after paste
the row press enter.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then to update and upgrade and also check pending or missing packages,
still using terminal type:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Hope this helps
