[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot <1392746@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 could be caused by filesystem or memory
corruption.  So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a
memory test.  Thanks in advance!

[This is an automated message.  I apologize if it reached you
inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

Title:
  package thunderbird (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: cannot
  copy extracted data for './usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so' to
  '/usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or
  stream

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have had similar errors with many packages on 14.04 (haven't had such problems with 12.04/12.10), but most of them were getting installed on 2nd try. Thunderbird and jre-7-headless are 2 exceptions to this: I can't install them no matter what I do: 
  apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean, apt-get autoremove, dpkg --configure -a
  None of the above help.
  It also can't be the problem with hard drive - the exactly same thing happens on several different HDDs.
