[Bug 1799976] Re: package shim (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2

[Steve Langasek]

This shows a failure to unpack the shim package as part of a package
management operation.  This is not a bug in the Ubuntu package;
something appears to have gone wrong on your local system causing
corruption of this package after download.

You may wish to run 'sudo apt-get clean' and re-attempt the operation.
