apt-get update, bzip "Data integrity error"

Hello everyone,

I popped into my Etch Web server today to check for updates, and found a few (using aptitude). I marked all of the suggested updates and pushed "g" to install them, and then went back to my work. When I checked in on my server again, I got the error messages included below. The Web site is still up and running, but for some reason my dovecot IMAP service is now refusing my connections...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for resolving this? Is there a problem with the Packages.bz2 and Source.bz2 in the repositories?

Here's the output:
