package cheese 2.24.2-0ubuntu0+intrepid1 failed to install/upgrade: files list file for package `linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic' is missing final newline

Binary package hint: cheese

This relates to pkg: cheese

It ALSO may relate to dpkg, whatever that is, cause i got an error about that too, I copied all my errors below.

I included the apt-cache policy info for both those things.

Here was what happened:

I was trying to UNinstall cheese. It should have uninstalled. But it didn't.

I got these messages afterwards:

Changes applied
Not all changes and updates succeeded. For further details of the failure, please expand the 'terminal' panel below.

I can't expand the terminal panel, it won't work. But I also got this error:

An error occurred
The following details are provided:
E: cheese: files list file for package 'linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic' is missing final newline

I did a RETRY of the uninstall, it still didn't work but i was able to expand the terminal panel this time, the message there was:

(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing cheese (--remove):
 files list file for package `linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic' is missing final newline
Errors were encountered while processing:
 cheese
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

And that was all it said.

I recently had a problem where I powered off my system by accident in the middle of a linux update. Since then I have had many weird errors. I have not had the time to investigate or fix anything, I wish I could get this mess fixed.
