Error installing libgimp2.0 on Debian unstable



Hello,

When trying to upgrade my system today, I got this error when installing
libgimp2.0  (output from apt-get -f dist-install follows)


alpha:~# apt-get -f dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libgimp2.0
The following packages have been kept back:
  x-window-system-core
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
460 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/977kB of archives.
After unpacking 2626kB of additional disk space will be used.

Unpacking libgimp2.0 (from .../libgimp2.0_2.0.0-4_alpha.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing

package gimp-data
 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libgimp2.0_2.0.0-4_alpha.deb
 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


The main problem seems to be caused by "subprocess paste killed by
signal (broken pipe)". Does anyone know what would cause that, and how
to fix it?

While this error persists the other 460 packages cannot finish
installing... So I am a bit stuck. I would be thankful for any help.
