This was because dpkg won't replace a directory with a symlink. Debian fixed it in 1:0.28.1-2.

Extremely annoying. Just to provide more info for others with this issue... 1. Ctrl-M and Ctrl-J will ENTER your commands. 2.

It is also a bit more than just annoying. On my computer during natty upgrade my gnome-terminal did not have the enter key, so effectively it was non-functional until I added the simlink.

Affect all running applications after upgrade. This solution was mentioned in redhat-bugzilla: This is because the running libvte is looking for /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm and the new libvte provides /usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm.
