[Bug 748729] [NEW] package libx11-dev (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive

 

Public bug reported:

I'm not certain what caused this error but I was installing "eclipse integrated development environment" from the "Ubuntu Software Center" and I think it was related to that. The Eclipse package seems to have installed correctly and runs as expected. After the libx11 crash I also got message boxes saying the "items cannot be installed until package catalog is repaired" but clicking repair gives the error "Package Operation Failed." These two messages now appear every time I try to use the Ubuntu Software Center.
This is in Ubuntu Natty Beta1 on Intel hardware running in an Oracle VirtualBox machine.
