Q:

" corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive" while processing a deb package

I keep getting the following message:
Check if you are using third-party repositories.  If so, disable them, because they are a common source of problems. 
Furthermore, run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f

I have no idea how to disable third-party repositories, or even that I had them.  I also encounter the same problem every time I try sudo apt-get install -f:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libflite1_1.4-release-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libflite1_1.4-release-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

A:

This is normally due to an incomplete download or some sort of manipulation of the deb file without the proper tools.  Removing the package and trying again would solve the issue:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install -f
