package texlive-pstricks-doc (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/doc/texlive-pstricks-doc/generic/pst-vue3d/pst-vue3d-doc.pdf'

[Adam Hayes]

This error occurred when I was installing Kile from the Ubuntu Software Center. I think it was fixed by manually installing pstricks-doc and then purging it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to install a particular package. Please execute the following command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue, but the failure could be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. Thanks in advance!
