Thanks for your report.

This was probably due to corrupted package on the mirror. Could you please retry the install and report if it's still an issue.

Before upgrading again, please run the following commands:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update.

Thanks.

Although this has been reported as possibly triaged it appears that the problem still exists as this error has occurred again on 2nd december 2008
