Sorry for previous report.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

It appears the .deb file is corrupt.

You may need to run the following:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"
