Public bug reported:
Removing/purging the file and/or using --reinstall options do not help.
Removing the file and installing it with
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/memtest86+_5.01-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb
works.
When calling dpkg --verify on the apt-installed package, the missing
file is flagged.
I have no idea what causes this. The file name ending in + maybe? But
wouldn't apt call dpkg for installation anyway?
