Public bug reported:

When upgrading base-files and have fsvs installed I get this error
message in  loop:

find: Symbolic link 
`/etc/fsvs/6666cd76f96956469e7be39d750cc7d9/_base/sys/devices/virtual/tty/ptyp5/subsystem/ttyS2/device/subsystem/devices/i8042/serio1/subsystem/drivers/atkbd/serio0/input/input0/subsystem/event1/device/device/subsystem'

 has the same device number and inode as a direcdpkg: error processing 
base-files (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 base-files

Its hard to cancel that message you have to hit Ctrl+C several times. 
For workaround you can move that /etc/fsvs temporarly out but I dont see any 
sense in the symlink checking via find.
I would suggest using `find -P ...` in package scripts.
