[Bug 969532] Re: package libc-bin 2.13-0ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/bin/localedef'

[Ubuntu Foundation's Bug Bot]

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.]

Bug description:
  just installed 11.04 because when I installed 11.10 yesterday it was
  unstable and ridiculously slow from the start. First thing I did in
  11.04 was go to terminal and run apt-get update, upgrade, and then
  because of the output from upgrade, install -f. Then these
  messages....
