Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. From the log file it looks like the downloaded file '/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_amd64.deb' may be corrupt. Can you manually remove that file and try upgrading again? Thanks in advance.
