   For the last 4 months I have relied on a 16 year old machine for   
   communication.   
      
   Having got my main machine to work, the old one collapsed or rather the   
   hard drive did. I decided to restore it using another drive.   
      
   Not so easy.   
      
   I had trouble getting the machine to boot on a Mint 22.1 installation   
   flash drive, then another, then a DVD and finally one of my oldest   
   flash drives.   
      
   But when I tried to update it in order to indstall Synaptic, I kept   
   running into errors.   
      
   I tried everythging I could find on the WWW but so far nothing has worked.   
      
   The last attempt ended with this:   
      
   dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:   
    files list file for package 'gnome-accessibility-themes' is missing final   
   newline   
      
   $ find . -name gnome-accessibility-themes   
   just returns to the prompt, so it is not a file.
