David,
Open a terminal and issue the following commands:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get purge
These will remove the incorrectly downloaded package and reset your apt database. Now issue the following command to update your database:
sudo apt-get update
Lastly issue this command to upgrade all your packages:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Hope that helps!
Cheers

Sounds like you're accessing the packages via an NFS share? Have you tried rebooting the client?
