My Ubuntu 18.04 is stuck at Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service. So, I thought upgrading to 20.04 might fix this. But sudo apt-get upgrade is throwing

files list file for package 'linux-headers-5.3.0-51' contains empty filename

To resolve this, I tried the following command without success:

sudo apt clean && sudo apt install linux-headers-5.3.0-51 --reinstall

What shall I do now? :)

Update (2020/11/28):

Upgrading to 20.04 resolved the Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service issue! 😃

  • Have you tried to uninstall the package and re-install it?

You have to manually remove the problematic file list by

sudo rm  /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-5.3.0-51.list

and then reinstall package as usual

sudo apt install linux-headers-5.3.0-51 --reinstall
