Bug Description

Any time I update, install or remove a package, I now receive a new error which DOES NOT crash the system.

E: sun-java5-doc: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9

Setting up sun-java5-doc (1.5.0-16-3) ...
[/tmp/jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip]
  End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /tmp/jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip or
        /tmp/jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip.zip, and cannot find /tmp/jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip.ZIP, period.
dpkg: error processing sun-java5-doc (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status

This came as result of my attempt to resolve another bug with Sun Java 5 update exit status 1, in which I downloaded the zip file from sun java then changed the ownership to root.root and copied it to tmp. I did not unzip the package itself.
