Binary package hint: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra

Sorry. I don't know how to collect detailed information. I was using Synaptic to "re-install" all the Compiz packages that were already on my system. (Compiz is not working reliably on my system.) During the Synaptic "Installing packages... this may take a while" step, I got a crash notice.

This looks like a bad download of the package file. Are you still having this problem? If so, do you still have it after running `sudo apt-get clean`?
