Bug Description
I'm using: Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron
When I try to update or install anything I get this response from apt-get:
files list file for package `thunar' is missing final newline
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I don't know what to do but I can't upgrade my system and I can't install anything at this point.
