我每天使用 apt-get 都会出现这个错误，完全无法更新任何内容：

在使用 Ubuntu 10.04、10.10 和 11.04 32 位系统的三台服务器上，我断断续续地经历了这种可怕的故障，已经两年了。
使用 launchpad.net 进行的所有故障排除都只是在兜圈子。我不使用 ntfs，而是使用 ext4。 apt-get purge失败， dpkg --configure -a立即退出，没有任何输出，指责python-twisted-core似乎毫无用处。
我可能发现了一些问题。不过下一波自动更新又会破坏它。

答案1
你有没有尝试过apt-get clean然后apt-get install再做一次？
错误消息表明解压缩包时出现问题：
unpacking replacement python-twisted-core ...
dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:968: tarobject:
Assertion `r == stab.st_size' failed.
我还会进行完整的磁盘和内存检查以确保无误，但希望 apt-get clean 能够有所帮助。
