Problems upgrading calibre in Ubuntu Karmic

Yet another user having the same problem while trying to upgrade. I have verified the problem using two different Internet providers.

I suspect it's a simple case of a corrupt archive (calibre-0.6.45-i686.tar.bz2).

Maybe we should start a new thread about this problem, because it seems this one is not getting any attention.
