Thanks for your report.

The relevant error is
---
Unpacking kcm-phonon-xine (from .../kcm-phonon-xine_4%3a4.4.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) ...

dpkg-deb: subprocess <decompress> killed by signal (Killed)

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kcm-phonon-xine_4%3a4.4.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb (--unpack):

 subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2

Same kind of error for the duplicates. I'm affecting this report to dpkg.

You also suffer from a kernel Ooops

Your reports #539698 and #539703 are probably caused by this crash.

It's rather a system specific problem than a problem with a particular package.
Could you run memtest on your system? (boot a live CD / USB key and select test memory)

Thanks
