Public bug reported:
I cannot do updates with UpdateManager, Synaptic or apt-get.
UpdateManager fails with the following:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/bittorrent_3.4.2-11ubuntu3~7.10_all.deb:
files list file for package `gnome-user-guide' contains empty filename
That error stays the same, only the nameof the package changes based on
what I select or deselect in UpdateManager.
Synaptic give the same error, again with only the package name changed,
based on what package(s) I selected in Synaptic to install.
With apt-get the follwoing happens, regardless of what I try to install:
