Bug Description

Ran an apt-get dist-upgrade from the command prompt after doing a fresh install of the 11.10 Beta, and just after installing the Virtualbox guest extensions after being prompted to do so. I left the VM running and came back to find the error. Since the update bailed out I have run an "apt-get -f install" and this has completed the update.

/var/log/apt/term.log shows:

Preparing to replace gnome-control-center-data 1:3.1.5-0ubuntu4 (using .../gnome
-control-center-data_1%3a3.1.91-0ubuntu1_all.deb) ...

dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Just looks like a conflicting file in multiple packages.
