Here is what is cauding the error:

Preparing to replace xfonts-100dpi 1:1.0.0-3 (using .../xfonts-100dpi_1%3a1.0.0-4_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xfonts-100dpi ...
dpkg-deb (subprocess): error in buffer_read(stream): failed to write to pipe in copy: Input/output error
b) ...
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-100dpi_1%3a1.0.0-4_all.deb (--unpack):
 short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/symb18.pcf.gz')

This sounds like the CD might be broken (bad burn maybe?). Could you run a CD check please?

Thanks,

I'll run a CD check; however, it would surprise me because this disc was pressed by Canonical and mailed to me.

"Check finished: no errors found"

I guess to fix the problem I'd uninstall the xfonts-100dpi package and reinstall it?
