[Bug 789572] Re: package libpurple0 1:2.7.3-1ubuntu3.2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package libpurple0 is already installed and configured

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your report.

The error is:
Unpacking replacement firefox ...

dpkg-deb (subprocess): failed to read on buffer copy for failed to write
to pipe in copy: Input/output error

dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste returned error exit status 2

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_4.0.1+build1
+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.3_i386.deb (--unpack):

 short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during
`./usr/lib/firefox-4.0.1/libxul.so'

which means a hardware failure. Please check your hard drive and try
again or use another device. I'm closing this report because it is not a
bug with Ubuntu.
