# Observed

Package installation failed.
Pop-up appears to offer reporting bug to Ubuntu, as I've done a number of times before.

# Action: check package file

Checked and redownloaded. File /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-4.4.0-31_4.4.0-31.50_all.deb was corrupted.

# Action: install correct package

rm /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-4.4.0-31_4.4.0-31.50_all.deb
aptitude

Package downloaded and installed normally.

Download is secured by https, right? So should be okay.

# Hypothesis: local corruption, hardware bug?

* Computer is one year old, using it near-daily for relatively storage-intensive work, appears sane.
* Storage is few-week-old SSD.
* dpkg -V shows nothing strange.

Conclusion: not conclusive.

# Hypothesis: local corruption, software bug?

* System installed on new SSD using regular Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit installer, ext4 with default options.
* dpkg -V shows nothing strange.

Conclusion: not conclusive.

# Hypothesis: package corrupted on download site?

Is fixed by now, then, since apt redownloaded from same site (fr.archive.ubuntu.com).

Conclusion: not conclusive.

Thank you for your attention.
