Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.

This error message indicates a problem with your filesystem, not with the package you were trying to install. You may need to run a filesystem check of your disk, and should perform appropriate checks that your hardware is not failing.

apport should not offer to report a bug for this error message; reassigning this bug report to apt, so that it can be added to the blacklist of errors that don't get reported against packages.

Thanks for closing the bug however there is still work to be done on apt to ensure that we don't report more of these types of bugs, so I am reopening it.

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.8.14.1ubuntu6

---------------
apt (0.8.14.1ubuntu6) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
    - prevent reporting of package installation failures due to inaccessible
      local files (LP: #791102, #790040)
    - include /var/log/apt/history.log in apport-package reports so we know
      the context for the package management request

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * methods/mirror.cc:
    - ignore lines starting with "#" in the mirror file
    - ignore non http urls in the mirrors
    - append the dist (e.g. sid, wheezy) as a query string when
      asking for a suitable mirror
