Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic

While attempting to use Update Manager to install 
linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic_2.6.28-13-generic I saw a message indicating that 
a crash was detected. The error message that popped up said:
E: 
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic_2.6.28-13.45_amd64.deb: 
short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during 
`./lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq.ko')

I attempted to fix the problem myself by looking into what
"/lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq.ko" is,
and, of the two results, one was about Dell notebooks. It might be
relevant that I'm running a Dell XPS M1730.

The "Update is complete" dialog has a slightly different error message that 
reads:
Errors were encountered while processing: 
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic_2.6.28-13.45_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
