Thank you for reporting this bug, However, we still need some more information before we can pass it on to the developers. Can you please include the contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade? Thanks.

tar'd up /var/log/dist-upgrade for you.

[Sense Egbert Hofstede (sense)]

The report contains enough information to be confirmed.
The error logs report about a short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/doc/console-tools/examples/utflist.long.gz').

This could be a problem with the CD. At the boot menu when booting from the CD there is an option to check the integrity of the CD. Please do that check and report it results here.
Thanks in advance.
