[Brian Murray <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  It seems that there was an error on your system when
trying to install a particular package.  Please execute the following
command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the update again.  This will likely resolve your
issue, but the failure can be caused by filesystem or memory corruption.
So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test.  If
this does resolve your bug please set its status to Invalid.  Thanks in
advance!

Title:
  package firefox 6.0.1 build1 nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error
  exit status 2

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A standard Firefox 6.0.2 Security Update failed to install.  All I did
  was try to install the updates Ubuntu's Update Manager gave me.  I
  even tried the suggestion of running "apt-get install -f" from the
  terminal - that didn't work either.
