Error while updating: missing final newline on a package

We can try this (i'm not sure of the path of the file libxcb-shape0 to remove, but we can try):

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type or better copy and paste:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpi-support.list

press enter, if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter

Then copy and paste the row below time into terminal, and after paste the row press enter.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then to update and upgrade and also check pending or missing packages, still using terminal type:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Hope this helps

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type or better copy and paste:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Copy and paste ONLY the warning rows you get, usually you can ignore it...

Then please also close this question mark it as solved...

Be free to send new questions...
