Thanks for confirming that it works again for you. This error can't be related to the removal of the no-longer supported packages. It is either a bug in dpkg or a problem with your hardware (RAM, file-system-corruption). I suspect something with the hardware as we haven't got any other report like this.
I will close this bugreport now, but I will keep it in mind and reopen if I come accross another corrupted available file.
