I noticed some WLAN0 errors. Later I tried a wired ethernet connection and retried the update (or re-installation), which reproduced the same Kernel tar file error. I shutdown and powered down the system.

Today, I started system update to attempt to take other (security) updates. Much to my surprise, I found only Java/JRE updates and that 2.6.32-28 was installed!

$ uname -a
Linux mosteika-nx9010 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 21:21:01 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

Apparently it installed during the first update, according to file timestamps, even though System Update had its status as re-install during the second attempt:
