[Bug 2037213] Re: Error message during upgrade package base-files 9.4ubuntu4.11 failed to install/upgrade: package base-files is already installed and configured

[Julian Andres Klode]

This looks like broken hardware, trying to read the file it tells us a
no device error.

dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libfdisk1:amd64' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 unable to open files list file for package 'libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0:amd64': No such device or address

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
