Hey

I am trying to install nessus on Ubuntu LTS ( 2.6.15-27-server #1 SMP i686 
GNU/Linux), but it keeps saying broken pipe installing from the .deb pkg. 
Here is the result with debugging on:

root@northstar:/download# dpkg -i --debug=100

The _2 is just there becauase i figured that the first time i downloaded 
that it must have been corrupt.

Any help would be appreciated.
