Thanks for your report.

The error was
=====
dpkg-deb (subprocess): error in buffer_read(stream): failed to write to pipe in copy: Input/output error
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
dpkg-deb: subprocess tar returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-2.6.24-19_2.6.24-19.41_all.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
=====

This was due to a corrupted archive.

Could your please run the following commands:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

and retry the upgrade and tell if it fixes your problem. Thanks.
