[Bug 1635346] Re: package update-manager 1:16.04.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Luc Heylbroeck]

Ok, i think i managed it...

The file:
libwayland-egl1-mesa:amd64.list in /var/lib/dpkg/info was corrupt by i don't know what cause.
I looked at the Internet and found the list at:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/xenial-updates/amd64/libwayland-egl1-mesa/filelist

Checked first that the list corresponded with the files i have

Made a new empty file and copied the list in it and trow away the bad one > done
Afterwards, i could make my updates.

If someone want to take a look at it, i uploaded the bad file and the
new one that worked.


Ouch !
