package antlr 2.7.7-6ubuntu4 [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/antlr.list] failed to install/upgrade: unable to open files list file for package `antlr': Input/output error

Binary package hint: antlr

The following error happens with any package actually. So I believe there's something wrong with the version of antlr installed. But that's only a guess.

(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/antlr_2.7.7-6ubuntu4_all.deb (--unpack):

The package install perfectly on my Ubuntu 8.10 system. Unable to reproduce the bug. Need more information on this to resolve. I would suggest u to remove the older version of Antlr and try installing antlr_2.7.7-6ubuntu4_all.deb.
