[Bug 998658] Re: install aborts before completion; MD5SUM correct for download

[Brian Murray]

We can see an updated package became corrupted during the download and
install updates phase:

May 13 04:13:57 ubuntu ubiquity: dpkg-deb (subprocess): data: internal bzip2 read error: 'DATA_ERROR'
May 13 04:13:57 ubuntu ubiquity: dpkg-deb: error: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2
May 13 04:13:57 ubuntu ubiquity: dpkg: error processing /target/var/cache/apt/archives/libreoffice-common_1%3a3.5.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):

Title:
  install aborts before completion; MD5SUM correct for download

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  installing 12.04 over 11.10 using downloaded ISO (md5sum correct)
  burnt to DVD. Install aborted about 30% of way through installation
  after copying files. All parameters w.r.t keyboard, locale, users
  already sey. The download updates was not checked, but system was
  connected to internet. Partition size large enough; using a separate
  /home directory (as existed for 11.10).

  Will attempt reinstall and expect system is dead in the meantime. If
  fails a second time, will install 11.10 and then upgrade to 12.04.
