While attempting to install an update to skype I got this output:
dpkg -i /local/downloads/skype-debian_2.2.0.25-1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 194818 files and directories currently installed.)

The sentence "short read on buffer copy for failed to write to
pipe in copy" is a bit hard to parse... My guess here is that 'for'
should have been 'or'?
