i am developing palm in my ubuntu 10.04 . unfortunately i have install a empty palm file. now i can not remove it or remove the virtual box. because it gives this error

Reading database ... 60%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
files list file for package `com.mystuff.hello' contains empty filename
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

any solution.

Have you tried using the debug option for dpkg to get more info?

How about other package managers.. aptitude, apt, dselect?.. sometimes one will be more helpful than another.

after debug i got this
sudo dpkg --debug=3773 -i /home/mahfuz/Desktop/Palm\ Linux/virtualbox-3.2_3.2.0-61806~Ubuntu~lucid_i386.deb

D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci'

Please give more info.. are you using a desktop/laptop to connect to the palm?

Are there any other ways to connect.. like bluetooth, cable, etc?

Have you tried the other package managers.. or can you?

I am sorry for being so nosy.. but I am not familiar with working with palm... I am just trying to get more info, so maybe someone else will see this and be able to help you
