Package: debian-policy Version: 3.1.1.1 When attempting a dist-upgrade from stable->testing->unstable installation of debian-policy_3.5.5.0_all fails with the following message: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/debian-policy_3.5.5..0_all.deb (--unpack): unable to install (supposed) new file into 'var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postinst':Operation not permitted Errors encounterd while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/debian-policy_3.5.5..0_all.deb
Running 'apt-get remove debian-policy' is more telling dpkg: error processing debian-policy (--remove): unable to delete /var/lib/dpkg/info/debian-policy.postinst':Operation not permitted. For some reason the perms on debian-policy.postinst are: br-xr-S--t and I cannot find a way to remove a block file. I am using Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable kernel 2.2.17-i386
