[SOLVED] I get an error whenever I try to install something with apt-get

lsma · 12-22-2015, 12:08 PM

I am using a Raspberry Pi 2B with Raspbian.

Whenever I try to install something using apt-get, it will download the package, but then it it fails to install it, giving me this error:

Code:

dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 files list file for package `adwaita-icon-theme' contains empty filename
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

I do not know how to fix this.

Possible that some of the files in a package became corrupt somehow, you could try reinstalling the package it mentions;

Code:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install adwaita-icon-theme

I think it was an issue with the SD card, since I had a lot of other weird problems with missing or broken stuff. I re-installed Raspbian on a more quality MicroSD card and everything is working swimmingly.
