> files list file for package libvte-common' contains empty filename Probably worth adding that the libvte-common corruption was different to the others. With the others, the /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list file did not exist. With libvte-common it had been replaced, apparently with the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/status.
After deleting the bad /var/lib/dpkg/info/libvte-common.list file, dpkg does proceed, and I can continue with restoring my system after all. Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
