sorry, this error appeared during update from Ubuntu 8.10 -> 9.04. I unwillingly interrupted the update-process by a shutdown. When trying to resume, I had some problems, one was this.

In my case, the installation halted from time to time, indicating that some part of the installation crashed. Sometimes I tried using apt-get to continue the update, and finally I clicked on the orange install-error icon to finish.

I started the upgrade by mounting the ISO image for the alternate 9.10 install CD. When I started the installation, I specified NOT to obtain files from the Internet. On finishing that phase, I proceeded to upgrade using apt-get. I made no changes to sources.list other than commenting out the line for the CD at that point.

That was fixed in Debian's 14.3.0-1.1.
The fix is also present in version 14.3.1-1 available in both Debian and Ubuntu.
