You are likely the victim of an overzealous Debian security patch which causes
File::Path::rmtree to no longer be able to delete read-only directories.

In this case Ubuntu should have removed the patch because an equivalent but
unbroken fix was added to 5.8.7.

Patch for CAN-2004-0452 by Jeroen van Wolffelaar.
The rmtree() function in the perl File::Path module would remove
directories in an insecure manner which could lead to the removal
of arbitrary files and directories via a symlink attack.
