If you have frequent problems of this sort, one thing that I've found helpful is to install the debsums package, and configure it to generate md5sums files for any packages that don't already come with them. Then, when my hard drive eats itself[1], I run 'debsums -s' and reinstall any packages with corrupted files or broken md5sums files.
