dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libecryptfs1'

OS: Linux Mint 20.3 I usually get this error whenever I do sudo apt update. dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libecryptfs1' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed But it has never caused any issue. Now that am doing my Linux mint upgrade to 21, the upgrade stopped by throwing the following error. dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libecryptfs1' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed (Reading database ... 409767 files and directories currently installed.)
