[Bug 47206] Broken Pipe when installing katapult

[Ryan Kavanagh]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: katapult

I recently tried removing and installing katapult, but I got errors
while doing so. I have no steps to reproduce the error, I'm sorry, but
it just keeps comming back. I don't know if its a local error, or if its
something wrong with the package.   aptitude output:
