Comment 3 for bug 573324

Thanks for the files

The relevant error is
---
Unpacking replacement openoffice.org-base-core ...
lzma: Decoder error
dpkg-deb: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 1
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-base-core_1%3a3.2.0-7ubuntu4_i386.deb (--unpack):
 short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/libdbali.so')
No apport report written because the error message indicates a dpkg I/O error

It seems that there was an error caused by a corrupted archive or a faulty media. Please execute the following commands, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal ( Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) :

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue. If so please set the bug's status to Invalid. If it doesn't then please run a filesystem check.
Thanks in advance!
