This bug was fixed in the package apt - 1.0.1ubuntu2.6
---------------
apt (1.0.1ubuntu2.6) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium
* apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
- update string matching for dpkg I/O errors. (LP: #1363257)
- properly parse the dpkg status line so that package name is properly set
and an apport report is created. Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for the patch.

Title:
string matching for dpkg I/O errors in dpkgpm.cc is out of date
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “apt” source package in Trusty:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The following error strings are no longer returned by dpkg:
io_errors.push_back(string("failed to read on buffer copy for %s"));
io_errors.push_back(string("failed in write on buffer copy for %s"));
io_errors.push_back(string("short read on buffer copy for %s"));
Subsequently, apport package installation failures are being created
for these types of crashes and they should not be. Additionally,
there is a new error returned by dpkg ("unexpected end of file or
stream" as seen in bug 1361489) which should also be blocked.
