Hi yellow,
try to remove the two files APT & dpkg mention in their output:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libglib-perl_2%3a1.223-1_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/libgtk2-perl_2%3a1.222-1_i386.deb
and retry: apt-get install -f
But such broken files are a good indication that your hardware
is slowly dying (especially your harddisk in this case) as APT
doesn't allow the migration of such garbled files from the partial
directory it downloads files to into its archive-cache.
So the downloaded files were not broken, but the files which
ended up in the cache which is more or less impossible without
your hardware searching for a "good" way to reach afterlife…
So better check your backup, create a second one just to be sure
and run tests on your hardware like smart and replace the broken.
(Closing as non-bug as APT and dpkg can't work on broken files
in a good way and do the best they can: complain loudly about it)
Best regards
David Kalnischkies
