[Bug 803274] Re: package app-install-data 0.11.04.7.3 failed to install/upgrade: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  It seems that there was an error on your system when
trying to install a particular package.  Please execute the following
command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the update again.  This will likely resolve your
issue, but the failure can be caused by filesystem or memory corruption.
So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test.  If
this does not resolve your bug please set its status back to New.
Thanks in advance!

Title:
  package app-install-data 0.11.04.7.3 failed to install/upgrade:
  corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive

Status in “app-install-data-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This might be caused by a hardware problem, as I believe my
  motherboard is dying. Alternately, it could be caused by the error I
  got during installation, "Jun 9 04:58:08 ubuntu kernel:   [
  1516.428539]  Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint".

  Release: 11.04

  When I try 'apt-cache policy app-install-data-ubuntu' I get 'N: Unable
  to locate package app-install-data-ubuntu'.

  I expected a normal update.

  The update didn't finish because of this error.
