If the md5sum does not match, it means that there is a problem in the
archive: the files are not what they are supposed to be. This could mean
the download went corrupt, or that someone is doing something nasty.
Even if it is just a problem in the download, a single byte changed, if
it is in a library or executable, can render the program useless and/or
crash your system. That means you definitively should not try installing
the program. Try downloading it again.
Also, I see you are trying to install a Ubuntu package. If your system
is Debian, mixing packages from Ubuntu is not a very good idea.
