Bug#37010: libc6-pic: libc6-pic is not installable due to invalid deb format

[Steve Bowman <sbowman@goodnet.com>]

Package: libc6-pic
Version: 2.1.1-0.1

libc6-pic is broken in the ftp archive.  I don't know if the problem is
at the source or in the downstream handling of the package but I get:


Unpacking replacement libc6-pic ...

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1
dpkg: error processing /local/linux/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/devel
/libc6-pic_2.1.1-1.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile (EOF) returned error exit status 2


in dselect script file.  You'll notice this is from a local mirror.
I tried deleting it and resyncing the mirror to get another copy.
This error is from the newly acquired copy so I don't think the problem
is here.  I'm mirroring from ftp.eecs.umich.edu which seems to be a good
mirror otherwise.
