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 could be caused by filesystem or memory
corruption.  So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a
memory test.  Thanks in advance!

[This is an automated message.  I apologize if it reached you
inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

Title:
  package bash-completion 1:1.3-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade:
  ErrorMessage: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive

Status in “bash-completion” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have been trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 for a day now. 
  The "do-release-upgrade" kept reporting the the  bash-completion deb file  had a "Hash mismatch" when trying to download it from the mirrors. 
  I then manually downloaded the file from a couple of mirrors and found all of them were the same. I then compared it to the file that was int he /var/cache/apt/partial folder and it differed. I then placed one of the files from the mirrors int he /var/cache/apt/ folder and the check-sum error went away and the upgrade continued. 

  The installation failed of the bash-completion
