Binary package hint: update-manager

In the event that update-manager runs into a corrupted package like so:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xulrunner-1.9_1.9.0.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive

or possibly

dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2

I think it would be a better idea if update-manager were to delete the deb from the cache and try downloading it again.
