Gary,

Funny, I tried the second site; which looked like what you had.  

Frode M. Døving suggested; 

$ sudo echo -en '\n' >> /var/lib/dpkg/info/gxine.list  

He then corrected himself, stating that it would not work, but this would; 

$ echo -en '\n' | sudo tee -a /var/lib/dpkg/info/gxine.list

The first did not work until I changed the permissions on the file, then it worked.  And the updating process worked just fine.  

Now, the question is, how is my mother supposed to do this?  

Thanks again Gary!

Michael
