files list file for package 'xxx' is missing final newline

 老师要求基于NS3实现一个无线传感器的仿真平台，就去查找相关资料，在Ubuntu环境下安装包时出现此问题，以下是解决办法：

先自定义一个name.py，然后加入下面代码

#!/usr/bin/python


# 8th November, 2009
# update manager failed, giving me the error:
# 'files list file for package 'xxx' is missing final newline' for every package.
# some Googling revealed that this problem was due to corrupt files(s) in /var/lib/dpkg/info/
# looping though those files revealed that some did not have a final new line
# this script will resolve that problem by appending a newline to all files that are missing it
# NOTE: you will need to run this script as root, e.g. sudo python newline_fixer.py

import os

dpkg_path = '/var/lib/dpkg/info/'
paths = os.listdir(dpkg_path)
for path in paths:
path = dpkg_path + path
f = open(path, 'a+')
data = f.read()
if len(data) > 1 and data[-1:] != '\n':
    f.write('\n')
    print 'added newline character to:', path
f.close() 

 保存后，运行sudo python name.py

感谢大佬
