Files list file for package 'package' is missing final newline
0
To resolve this issue I have run these commands
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/<package name>.* /var/www
sudo apt-get install <package name>
But when I try to install any new packages or upgrade using the below command it gives errors for other packages.
What could have caused this problem and how can I resolve it?

did you move all the package list files? The command(s) you actually ran is not clear from your question. Please runsudo apt updateand give the complete verbatim output formatted as code. I would expect that command to possibly fix your problem actually, but if not it may give some clue

I have removed libcap-ng0:amd64 files from /var/lib/dpkg/info folder and later tried to reinstall it but now it has provided error for other package and warning for libcap-ng0.
It has occurred for rest packages in same way

Thx for your answer but i am getting same o/p. dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'software-properties-common' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package 'libcap-ng0:amd64' is missing final newline E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

did you move all the package list files? The command(s) you actually ran is not clear from your question. Please runsudo apt updateand give the complete verbatim output formatted as code. I would expect that command to possibly fix your problem actually, but if not it may give some clue
