Files list file for package missing — dpkg warning
6
I want to install Open JDK or Oracle JDK to my machine but I got an error during installation. The error is:
Selecting previously unselected package oracle-java8-installer.
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'unity-scope-gourmet' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'unity-scope-guayadeque' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'unity-scope-gmusicbrowser' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'unity-scope-manpages' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'unity-scope-firefoxbookmarks' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'unity-scope-gdrive' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'unity-scope-home' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
I searched on Google and try to something for install/reinstall this packages. Finally i try to remove Unity. I faced this error for my every tries. I am using Xmonad. How can I fix this issue?

One loop over the seven packages' names to recreate the list-file for each package.
But first run
sudo apt-get autoclean
to remove unneeded DEBs in /var/cache/apt/archives. This is necessary that the following commands work properly.
arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)"
for p in
unity-scope-gourmet unity-scope-guayadeque unity-scope-gmusicbrowser
unity-scope-manpages unity-scope-firefoxbookmarks unity-scope-gdrive
unity-scope-home
do
find /var/cache/apt/archives -type f -name "${p}_*_${arch}.deb" -exec dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile {} ; -quit | tar t | cut -f2- -d. | sed 's|^/$|/.|;s|/$||' | sudo tee "/var/lib/dpkg/info/$p.list" > /dev/null
done
sudo chmod -R a+r /var/lib/dpkg/info
Some tests later, the command
sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-scope-gourmet unity-scope-guayadeque unity-scope-gmusicbrowser unity-scope-manpages unity-scope-firefoxbookmarks unity-scope-gdrive unity-scope-home
should also help.

Can you explain in detail one command to recreate? What if I do not want toinstallbut toremovethe package?

@Timo: If you want to remove the package you should still reinstall it to recreate its file list first and only then remove it, so that Apt knows which files to remove.
