Bug Description

Binary package hint: dpkg

The error about having this package already installed was the second error that appeared during the distribution upgrade. The first error was:

"Could not install 'var/cache/apt/archives/amsn_0.98.3-2ubuntu1_386i.deb' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it."

The output was:

corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive

Due to the errors above, I'm submitting this bug report.

Here is the error:

Unpacking replacement rss-glx ...
dpkg-deb (subprocess): data: internal gzip read error: '<fd:0>: data error'
dpkg-deb: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/rss-glx_0.9.1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):

This looks like memory corruption or disk corruption, could you please run a memory test?
