Hi I made a strace on dpkg -i and at the end I see the following
readlink("/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/classes/sdbc_hsqldb.jar", "\302\f\20"..., 148) = 3 write(2, "dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:824: "..., 81dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:824: tarobject: Assertion `r == stab.st_size' failed. an ls to that: # ls -la /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/classes/sdbc_hsqldb.jar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 73 Aug 16 09:04 /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/classes/sdbc_hsqldb.jar -> ??? and a file command to that: # file /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/classes/sdbc_hsqldb.jar /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/classes/sdbc_hsqldb.jar: broken symbolic link to `\302\020 seams that here is something broken on the file system ... removing that symlink solves my problem ... probably it would be nice, if dpkg would tell which file/symlink is broken...
