当我尝试安装更新时，收到此处显示的错误消息：
最后的消息是：
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error: aborting:
files list file for package 'firefox-locale-en' is missing final newline
有一天，我在使用电脑时，Firefox 突然消失了。当我搜索它时，我发现它被删除了。我从 Ubuntu 软件中再次下载它，然后我又找回了它。但是当我点击显示应用程序我注意到有两个名为 Firefox 的应用程序，一个带有图标，另一个没有图标。我忽略了这一点，但从那时起，当我尝试通过终端安装软件或尝试更新时，我收到了消息the file for package firefox-locale-en is missing final new line。

运行以下命令来修复该问题：
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-locale-en.list
sudo apt install --reinstall firefox-locale-en
您应该会收到一个警告：
dpkg：警告：软件包‘firefox-locale-en’的文件列表文件丢失；假设软件包当前未安装任何文件
忽略警告并运行以下命令进行更新：
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
请发布任何其他错误。谢谢。
