Bug#319142: apt: attempts to install corrupted packages



Package: apt
Severity: important

asuffield@cyclone:~$ apt-cache show xfonts-scalable
Package: xfonts-scalable
...
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3
...
MD5sum: 0e9e786a6220993510e2b9cfdbc65ee1

Preparing to replace xfonts-scalable 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 (using .../xfonts-scalable_6.8.2.dfsg.1-3_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xfonts-scalable ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-scalable_6.8.2.dfsg.1-3_all.deb (--unpack):
 corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive: Success
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

asuffield@cyclone:~$ md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-scalable_6.8.2.dfsg.1-3_all.deb
a525d80fb0df950f4e9b0e3141c63d0c  /var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-scalable_6.8.2.dfsg.1-3_all.deb

Not only is this broken and annoying, it indicates that the security
checking code is completely non-functional.

(There's nothing strange going on here. This is the tail end of a
regular upgrade that left me with hundreds of packages properly
installed and three dead ones)
