This looks like a download that occurred during a server update, which should never happen on a correctly configured server (the remote one, not yours') - it also might be a disk with bad sector(s). I just tried it on a Debian bookworm up to date (Version 8.3-1) without any problem. So, I would do some things : * rename the original to: ….bad.deb for further possible bad sector investigation, * reload a fresh pkg: apt-get download ldap-account-manager , which will drop the pkg in the current directory and try again to install it using the usual dpkg syntax. If you encounter another error, then it is the pkgs server fault, if not and you do not found any bad sector in the original file, then it'll also be the pkgs server fault, as it should refuse to deliver until the pkg is consistent.
