Hello, can you attach /var/lib/dpkg/info/libzephyr4.list ?

To fix your problem, you can simply remove that file and reinstall the package libzephyr4 (apt-get --reinstall install libzephyr4). Do you remember if your machine crashed or lost power abruptly at some point? Because the file should never be corrupted unless you have some hardware failure of some sort.

The error message is:
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:

 files list file for package 'libzephyr4' is missing final newline

dpkg: error processing libc-bin (--configure):

 package libc-bin is already installed and configured

tags: added: missing-final-newline
