My Ubuntu Server runs in a virtual machine. Unfortunately the server it runs on was restarted recently, causing corruption which required a full disk fsck to get it booting again.

When I tried to update and upgrade packages, I got error messages which I include below. apt update works as usual but the apt upgrade command causes an error. When I run dpkg -- configure -a, I get other error messages. I have tried removing and purging the packages mentioned but nothing seems to work.

I have tried the solution suggested but get the following error message:

Any ideas? This screen has the original errors...

It turned out that the .list files were corrupt.

I managed to solve this using the advice on https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/apt-get-dpkg-error-files-list-file-missing-final-newline-271118/

I deleted the list files, purged and reinstalled the packages and it all eventually started updating/upgrading without error.
