    dpkg error - possibly related to kali-menu

    This is from trying to upgrade to 1.1. I've tried the basic commands with no headway.

    dpkg --configure -a
    apt-get clean
    apt-get autoremove
    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

    I'm not sure if it's somehing in /var/lib/dpkg/info or not. The dpkg: error: too-long line or missing newline in `' is throwing me off on what the offending package is. Any ideas?


    Preconfiguring packages ...
    dpkg-query: error: too-long line or missing newline in `'
    exim4-config.postinst: [WARN] Installed debconf version is broken. Aborting preconfigure.
    supported_versions: WARNING: Unknown Debian release: Kali Linux 1.0

    E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke '/usr/share/kali-menu/update-kali-menu wait_dpkg'
    E: Sub-process returned an error code
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
    A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
    dpkg: error: too-long line or missing newline in `'


    Thanks,
