Bug Description

There are more than 300 filed bug reports on unrelated projects when APT has an easy, predictable error and fix for interrupted downloads.

The pattern might be either

ErrorMessage: cannot copy extracted data for './filename' to '/destinationfilename-src': unexpected end of file or stream

or

Title: package packagename versionname failed to install/upgrade: cannot copy extracted data for './filename' to '/destinationfilename-new': unexpected end of file or stream

and I recommend apport send users to a web page like

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetTrouble#package_xxxxxxxxxxxxx_failed_to_install.2BAC8-upgrade
