Public bug reported:
The daily update of Ubuntu has been telling me this for 3 days -- once running
ubuntu kernel 2.6.31 and twice with 2.6.32-33
Notably, I had a similar recurring error 2 months ago when I tried to upgrade
from 2.6.31 to 2.6.32 -- it mentioned "gunzip" and said it could not extract
the file because the file was corrupted ( in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ) -- I
understood it to mean gunzip was corrupted.
Now it is mentioning "tar" and complaining of 2 corrupted sysvinit files in
/var/cache/apt/archives/
Whenever I try to do an "apt-get install" of the corrupted file or its package
I get a message that the package "is already the latest version."
No changes have been made to this hardware in the last year, nor any recent
changes to the OS, other than regular daily "apt-get updates" or automatic
running of aptitude for daily updates.
The current auto-generated report which this is, was generated by the automatic
Aptitude update.
