Hi there!

It appears that somehow the package you were trying to install was corrupted during download. We cannot fix this from our end, but since this is probably a quite serious problem for you we are turning this report into a support ticket so that you can get the help you need.

As a suggestion, you could try removing the package (sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives//var/cache/apt/archives/libqt4-xml_4.5.0-0ubuntu4.3_i386.deb) and re-upgrading.

Thanks for your patience and understanding
