Linux Mint 15 dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package 'virtualbox-4.2' is missing final newline

Linux Mint 15 dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file
for package 'virtualbox-4.2' is missing final newline

Linux Mint 15 x64 - Mate
I tried installing the google-talk-plugin_4.4.2.0-1_amd64.deb package, but
I receive this error in the package installer and from the terminal
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package
'virtualbox-4.2' is missing final newline
How do I get past this error to install the google-talk plugin?
