Re: apt-get upgrade error: package `coreutils' contains empty filename ?
Still no luck on this. I can't even seem to force dpkg to upgrade:
# apt-get -fm install dpkg
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Suggested packages:
lzma
The following packages will be upgraded:
dpkg
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 59 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/2039kB of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.13.26_arm.deb (--unpack):
files list file for package `coreutils' contains empty filename
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.13.26_arm.deb
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
