i step in the right direction would have been to shorten the mail before  
replying ;-)

first thing i'd try would be
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
if the errors persist, either your sd card is faulty or apt has issues or  
the infamous sd card bug strikes again (how big is your sd card?) ...

download the archive(s) manually and compare the checksums
# apt-cache show fso-utils

MD5sum has the md5sum (surprise), now do
# md5sum fso-utils_0.git20080812.2_all.deb
6134ea91b8da82d393a13ef012e907db  fso-utils_0.git20080812.2_all.deb

if the sums are the same, the package is most likely ok. put it into  
/var/cache/apt/archives/.
do so with the others.
now do
apt-get upgrade
it should work now -- if not you're probably out of look with your sd card.
