Basically the problem here is that apt and aptitude cannot deal with
malformed cached files.

In my case these cached files have become corrupted because I had a
power failure while updating my system. Probably the ext3 file system
did not restore everything correctly.

Could the next person that find this bug report attach the corrupted
*.bin files before removing them?
