Hi: I ran apt-get dist-upgrade this evening. First, I ran apt-get up update --fix-missing, and got the error:

W: Failed to fetch

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Despite these, I proceeded to run apt-get upgrade, which ran for quite a while. At the end, I got another error message:

Preparing to replace debconf 1.5.46 (using .../debconf_1.5.49_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement debconf ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/debconf_1.5.49_all.deb (--unpack):
corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/debconf_1.5.49_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Is there something else I need to do, or can I run as-is? Thanks in advance.

Do

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade.

If it asks, do
apt-get -f install

If the debian-multimedia repos are giving errors, best to wait or remove them from the sources.list
