'Almost certainly' was overstating it. (Just got home after beers with friends). The other good way I know to get this one is for that directory to already be there, or be a symlink to another device. The packager manager ought to be a lot smarter, but it defaults to 'panic, panic, die' ... when it sees something it didn't expect.
