Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Can you please run

sudo apt-get clean

in a terminal and try again? This can be caused by a corrupted download of the package file. Thanks.

Problem resolved after apt-get clean, complete uninstall of the package and
install afterwards.
I guess bug should be closed now.
