Whenever I try to update Ubuntu 12.10, it always gets interrupted by this error:

files list file for package `libqapt-runtime' contains empty filename

I have tried to install with apt-get as well and that gets interrupted by the same error.

What are the commands that you are entering? Could you past all the output of your commands, upload it in paste.ubuntu.com and link it here? – Lucio Apr 13 '13 at 05:18

here it is. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705028/ – Roger Parish III Apr 13 '13 at 15:29
Enter this command: sudo apt-get install libqapt-runtime --reinstall and tell me your results. – Lucio Apr 14 '13 at 00:18
If that doesn't work, you could try with the procedures mentioned in this post, replacing libreoffice with libqapt-runtime. – Lucio Apr 14 '13 at 00:18

ok, i have tried that command and i tried the ones on the other post but it does not seem to work, here is my log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5706618/ – Roger Parish III Apr 14 '13 at 02:36
Enter the next command and show me your results: cd / && find -name "libqapt-runtime*" -print – Lucio Apr 14 '13 at 19:10
here is my output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5708600/ – Roger Parish III Apr 14 '13 at 19:22
Sorry, this is the correct command: cd / && sudo find -name "libqapt-runtime*" -print – Lucio Apr 14 '13 at 19:24
ok, here is my output with the corrected command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5708621/ – Roger Parish III Apr 14 '13 at 19:29
Now delete the .deb file and update the system: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/libqapt-runtime_1.4.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade – Lucio Apr 14 '13 at 19:44
ok, i tried that command. It seemed to have deleted the file, but it still displays the same error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5708720/ – Roger Parish III Apr 14 '13 at 20:10
And do you get an output/result when you enter cd / && sudo find -empty -name "libqapt-runtime*" -print <-- this command is different 'cause the -empty parameter – Lucio Apr 14 '13 at 20:24
no, i do not get an output from that command. – Roger Parish III Apr 14 '13 at 20:26
