I was trying to download google chrome and I got lazy and typed:
sudo apt-get install google*
It proceeded to download a lot of google android installers. When I realized what happened I closed the terminal to stop the processes.
Now I continuously get this error when updating, attempting to delete, attempting to download/install, basically anything involving apt:
files list file for package 'google-android-platform-21-installer' is missing final newline
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
I have looked up solutions for a few days now without a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

dpkg -l | grep -i googleand add the output of this command to your question. – Ali Razmdideh Sep 11 '18 at 19:53sudo apt autoremove <package name>. Tip: You can remove these android-installer usingsudo apt autoremove google-android-platform*in one go – Kulfy Sep 11 '18 at 20:13E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)? There are quite a few search results for that. Also, it's good practice to post the entire output of commands and the entire exact command, if it isn't too long, here rather than snippets. You can do do by copy/pasting from the terminal and using the site's formatting tools: https://askubuntu.com/editing-help. – DK Bose Sep 12 '18 at 02:03
