My ubuntu installation does not live on NTFS and I'm still having this
issue:

Preparing to replace gnome-user-guide 3.0.0+git20110406ubuntu10 (using 
.../gnome-user-guide_3.0.0+git20110406ubuntu11_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement gnome-user-guide ...
dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:968: tarobject: Assertion `r == stab.st_size' failed.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly


I cleaned out all apt cache, tried uninstalling it, upgrading it, forcing it 
purging it with apt-get but that all failed.
In the end I had to uninstall it manually using dpkg:

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq gnome-user-guide

Hard to say what the problem was, this was a pretty fresh install.
