I had a similar problem on Raspbian:
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for
package 'init-system-helpers' is missing final newline E: Sub-process
/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
This solved the problem for me:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/init-system-helpers.* /tmp
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install --reinstall init-system-helpers
Means moving the package information files somewhere else. Configuring unfinished packages and reinstalling the package which caused problems.
