I'm having the same problem. I'm running Dapper, installed cleanly from a Flight 4 iso this morning. AFAIK, everything's updated. I've tried installing it, removing it, installing it again, removing it completely, and changing the address in the source.list line from archive.ubuntu.com to se.archive.com as suggested earlier, and repeating the whole thing over again. Something definitely looks broken here.

Here's the error produced:

(This is my first bug report, so please pardon any stupidities.)
