Thanks for your bugreport. Apt does use checksums while downloading. The check is performend on the data that is recived from the network and gets into the buffer. Apt does not re-check if the buffer -> disk was write was correct. The errors we have seen that look similar to this one have been file system corruption or bad RAM. Can you please run a memtest and a filesystem check to ensure that the machine is fine?
