[Bug 867628] Re: package libreoffice-common 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/template/layout/lyt-wine.otp'

[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 resolve your bug please set its status to Invalid.  Thanks in
advance!

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Tags added: short-read

Title:
  package libreoffice-common 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade:
  short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during
  `./usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/template/layout/lyt-wine.otp'

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I skipped downloading/installing libreoffice-common during
  installation (by clicking ubiquity's skip button with the caption
  "installing language packs"), and when it tried to update from the
  installed system the existing deb was corrupted. Deleting the file
  from apt-get's cache fixed the problem.
