Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: 4g8

apt-get no longer works. It has been this way for about 1.5 weeks now. I
currently have 390 updates, none of which I can install. The down load
works, but the unpacking fails, no matter the package. I ahve tried both
canadian and US repositories, and multiple kernels, same errors.

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  4g8
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 389 not upgraded.
Need to get 11.5kB of archives.
After unpacking, 61.4kB of additional disk space will be used.

Every single time is has the same verification errors. Even when not checking 
sigs, the same error message. I tried replacing the whole directory of etc/apt 
with the one I copied from teh RC disk, and it still doesnt work. As far as I 
know, I wasnt doing anything that would have cause this, and am not seeing any 
logging in var/log related to apt (though I dont really know where to look, 
recent migration from rpm hell so im still learning apt-get, though ahve been 
using linux since 1999).
