That makes no sense. Did you cut-and-paste that, or type it in by hand?
If the latter, then I suspect you mis-typed some of it; in particular,
were there some extra spaces, i.e. 6b5f 696e should have been 6b 5f 69 6e?

Assuming that, then the file being listed is

    boteBook_installation

which still makes no sense.
