fluid-soudfont-gm errors when upgrading to jaunty

[dvlchd3]

During my upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, I encountered several error messages about packages not upgrading. The majority of which I was able to resolve later, however, one package is still not installing correctly.

fluid-soundfont-gm is a depencency of ubuntustudio-audio, however, I am unable to install the package. Here is the message 'sudo apt-get -f install' gives me:

Not sure if any other logs are applicable. I have seen several bug reports on this, however, no activity, I was hoping someone else may have run into this issue and have some sort of resolution.

Hi, try clearing the cache and installing it again

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install fluid-soundfont-gm

I actually already tried that. I guess I should've specified, in more detail, what I have attempted to do to fix this issue.

I have done an autoclean and an autoremove. Then attempted to install the package again.

I have gone into synaptics, and done a "complete removal" and re-install through synaptics.

I'm not sure why I keep downloading what appears to be a corrupt deb file. Now that I ponder a bit more on this, perhaps this is an issue to go to bug reporting. Please let me know if anyone has any other suggestions though.
