Public bug reported: Upon upgrading to libreoffice-core 3.5.2 version, I stumbled upon what seems to be a bad download issue:
Preparing to replace libreoffice-core 1:3.5.1-1ubuntu5 (using .../libreoffice-core_1%3a3.5.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ... rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/': No such file or directory rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4': No such file or directory Unpacking replacement libreoffice-core ... dpkg-deb (subprocess): data: internal bzip2 read error: 'DATA_ERROR' dpkg-deb: error: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2 dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libreoffice-core_1%3a3.5.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack): subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2 I was asked to file a bug about it, as it might be possible for dpkg to recover from that more gracefully.
