Wow, somehow that file has become completely corrupted. From the following page

http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i3...-alsa/filelist

I think the contents should be:

Code:

/usr

/usr/lib

/usr/lib/sox

/usr/lib/sox/libsox_fmt_alsa.so

/usr/share

/usr/share/doc

/usr/share/doc/libsox-fmt-alsa

/usr/share/doc/libsox-fmt-alsa/AUTHORS

/usr/share/doc/libsox-fmt-alsa/NEWS.gz

/usr/share/doc/libsox-fmt-alsa/README.gz

/usr/share/doc/libsox-fmt-alsa/changelog.Debian.gz

/usr/share/doc/libsox-fmt-alsa/copyright

So please open up the file with a text editor an replace the contents with what I put in the code block above. Make sure you don't leave any blank lines.
That should fix this problem, but it is possible there will be other problems.

Hi evo2,

I read your comments on this thread https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-5dpkg-788082/ and I replaced *.list file with proper content. But what about the other files like triggers, shlibs, symbols?

ll /var/lib/dpkg/info|grep libport
