Same issue, different Ubuntu version, different archive. Release: 18.04 apt: Installed: 1.6.14
My error: ``` Unpacking libpython3.6-dev:amd64 (3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.4) over (3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.3) ... dpkg-deb (subprocess): decompressing archive member: lzma error: compressed data is corrupt dpkg-deb: error: <decompress> subprocess returned error exit status 2 dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-mL3NjE/000-libpython3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.4_amd64.deb (--unpack): cannot copy extracted data for './usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.6m-pic.a' to '/usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.6m-pic.a.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or stream ``` I diagnosed the issue as best I could: - apt caches files in /var/cache/apt/archives - I found the file libpython3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.4_amd64.deb - On deleting this file, running the command again worked. Therefore the bug in my case was clearly: - apt downloaded a corrupt file - apt did not verify that the file's checksum was correct - apt proceeded to cache the file despite the checksum being incorrect - the cached file is now on my system and apt refuses to redownload it - therefore it is impossible to get it to work without user intervention, in this case by manually deleting the cached file Suggested fix: - verify that file checksums are correct BEFORE inserting the file into the cache - if that is for some reason impossible (for instance if apt does not checksum files - which seems completely ludicrous to me from a security standpoint but I insert it here just in case), at least verify that the archive can be opened, before inserting into the cache - ideally, if a file found in the cache cannot be uncompressed, delete it from the cache and fetch it again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928488 Title: Receiving error for /var/cache/apt/archives/fonts-noto-cjk compressed data is corrupt Status in apt package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu ???@???-OMEN:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 21.04 Release: 21.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center ???-OMEN:~$ apt-cache policy fonts-noto-cjk fonts-noto-cjk: Installed: 1:20190410+repack1-2 Candidate: 1:20201206-cjk+repack1-1 Version table: 1:20201206-cjk+repack1-1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/main amd64 Packages 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/main i386 Packages *** 1:20190410+repack1-2 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ???@???-OMEN:~$ apt-cache policy fonts-noto-extra fonts-noto-extra: Installed: 20200323-1build1 Candidate: 20201225-1build1 Version table: 20201225-1build1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/universe i386 Packages *** 20200323-1build1 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen I went to execute the upgrade from Ubuntu 21.03 to 21.04 and now cosistently receiving this error. 4) What happened instead Continually reciving this error whenever I run Software Update or APT UPGRADE ???@???-OMEN:~$ sudo apt upgrade -y Reading package lists...
