I'm fairly new to the Linux scene (installed yesterday), but have been having problems ever since. I've managed to get my touchpad working (for now), but am now unable to install anything. I have tried quite a few things, and am now able to write sudo apt-get
fairly efficiently. Every different attempt returns with the error:
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
files list file for package `libwebkitgtk-3.0-0:amd64' contains empty filename
I have tried sudo nautilus
and deleting everything under /var/lib/dpkg/updates
as suggested on another answer, but still the same response. I'd really like to install some things from the software centre, I currently don't have flash (but that's a totally different matter).
Also, every time I log on, I get several error messages. I am assuming this has something to do with the matter.
I apologise for the incorrect post format, I tried doing the cool code thingy I've seen everyone else do but was unable to get it right.
