gwibber error, what to do?

[loracska]

Hi,
I just tried to install OO database using Ubuntu Software Center and got this error message:

installArchives() failed: Selecting previously deselected package libhsqldb-java.
(Reading database ... (Reading database ... 5% (Reading database ... 10% (Reading database ... 15% (Reading database ... 20% (Reading database ... 25% (Reading database ... 30% (Reading database ... 35% (Reading database ... 40% (Reading database ... 45% (Reading database ... 50% (Reading database ... 55% (Reading database ... 60%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
files list file for package `gwibber' contains empty filename

What should I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
L

Welcome to the forums :-)

Try using an older dpkg/status file.

Backup the existing one.


sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.bad

Use the older one,


sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status


sudo apt-get update

And try installation again.
