Bug description:
  Did a normal update of Ubuntu 12.04 via Software Updater.  Restart
  requested.  After restart Software Updater does not want to run/open
  and red "error/stop" icon is displayed in the top right toolbar.  The
  error message is:

  E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels:1: Extra junk
  at end of file

  Tried running sudo apt-get in various forms but always errors with above message.
  Tried running Synapitic, program exist with same error.
  Software Updater does not respond to mouse clicks.

  01autoremove-kernels is a compiled file - unable to edit.
