It says that the package file was corrupted. Can you please type 'sudo apt-get clean' in a terminal to clean your downloaded package files and then retry installing that package? That would clear if it's a download or a package issue. Thanks in advance.

Ok, after further investigation it looks like the download gets borked up or the file on the server is broken. Marking as confirmed.
