Hi Dick,<br>
<br>
Have you tried deleting /var/cache/apt/archives/bc_1
<div style="direction: ltr;">.06-17_i386.deb and trying again?
>From the error message, it looks like this file is corrupted. It should
be downloaded again after you delete it.<br>
<br>
I'd check /etc/apt/sources.list too, and maybe refresh the local apt cache (using apt-get update).<br>
<br>
HTH. I haven't tried any of it, so be warned!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Neil.<br>
