It appears the .deb file is corrupt.

You may need to run the following:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"

run the steps then reinstalled linux image package. System crashed and could not be restarted with current kernel (-37). Rebooted un prior kernel (-32). System still acting up. Started to reload all packages and failed half way throught. Was able to reboot under kenerl (-37)

Failure to boot under (-37) was init sync issue.
