    Exclamation dpkg returned error code 1 - unpack failed

    Hello,

    I am new to Linux, at this point I have successfully installed Nethunter 3.15 on my Nexus 7.
    Actually I am facing a problem when executing apt-get upgrade --> base-files_1%3a2016.2.2_armhf.deb --> unable to unpack
    I tried already everything I found on the forum - forced install, purge remove, nothing worked, I am even not able to remove the file Nethunter says package is essential and not able to remove...... I am somehow stucked and really need help

    Thanks for providing suggesting how to proceed

    /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_1%3a2016.2.2_armhf.deb

    This package name is libgcc1.
    This is the reason for libgcc1 package working on background.

    You must try "apt-get install libgcc1 -y" to solve this error.

    İf you install a package, that package is stops and reinstalls that package.
    İf that package is stop, upgrade is be successfully.

    Try and tell me. "Is it working ?"
