Maybe it really is a bad file.  I suggest you run md5sum on the
indicated .deb, and compare it with the published value in
/cdrom/md5sum.txt, or /cdrom/indices/md5sum*, or wherever.

Here's what I get:

vanzandt:~# md5sum /cdrom/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/libs/freetype2_1.2-3.deb
4e39b953d6cd9806b369dd53df5fd4d4 /cdrom/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/libs/freetype2_1.2-3.deb
vanzandt:~# grep freetype2 /cdrom/md5sum.txt
4e39b953d6cd9806b369dd53df5fd4d4
./dists/slink/main/binary-i386/libs/freetype2_1.2-3.deb
...

This file installs fine.
