[Bug 787312] Re: package smbclient 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2

[Clint Byrum]

GlenMH, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report.

This is the relevant error:

Preparing to replace smbclient 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6 (using .../smbclient_2%3a3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.4_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement smbclient ...
dpkg-deb (subprocess): data: internal gzip read error: '<fd:0>: data error'
dpkg-deb: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/smbclient_2%3a3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.4_i386.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2

sometimes files get corrupted on download, or because of bit errors on
disk. Please try this in a terminal to correct the issue:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get -f install

This should correct any issues, please pay attention to the output of
the apt-get -f install to make sure you don't remove any software you
don't want to.

Closing as Invalid.
