This breaks down in two parts. The first part is a dpkg error message; the second one a libc error message. dpkg's po/de.po has #: main/processarc.c:719 #, c-format msgid "package control info rmdir of `%.250s' didn't say not a dir" msgstr "" "Paket-Control-Info rmdir von �%.250s� ergab nicht, dass dies kein " "Verzeichnis ist" glib's debian/patches/cvs.dpatch has: +#. TRANS Directory not empty, where an empty directory was expected. Typically, +#. TRANS this error occurs when you are trying to delete a directory. +#: stdio-common/../sysdeps/gnu/errlist.c:737 +#: stdio-common/../sysdeps/unix/sysv/sysv4/solaris2/sparc/errlist.c:123 +msgid "Directory not empty" +msgstr "Das Verzeichnis ist nicht leer" So dpkg is trying to rm a directory that turns out not not to be empty.
