Public bug reported:

A few days ago I noticed a problem during a normal apt-get upgrade - the
libreoffice-common package failed to install:

dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libreoffice-common_1%3a4.2.8-0ubuntu2_all.deb 
(--unpack):
 unable to open 
'/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xslt/import/spreadsheetml/spreadsheetml2ooo.xsl.dpkg-new':
 Operation not permitted

 Initially I assumed it was a download problem so I cleaned the cache
and retried. I also checked disc space: 12GB free, inodes 1035169 free.
I removed libreoffice entirely (purge) and reinstalled. Up to then,
libreoffice was working, after the reinstallation failed with the same
error it was not there. I noted there were two systems with the same
problem, both i386, and three systems without the problem, two 64bit,
and one i386. I haven't tried the purge/reinstall on the second system
because one system with no office software is already one too many.

I've followed the instructions on:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure
and the Terminal output follows:

Title:
  Failed to upgrade/reinstall libreoffice-common

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A few days ago I noticed a problem during a normal apt-get upgrade -
  the libreoffice-common package failed to install:

  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libreoffice-common_1%3a4.2.8-0ubuntu2_all.deb 
(--unpack):
   unable to open 
'/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xslt/import/spreadsheetml/spreadsheetml2ooo.xsl.dpkg-new':
 Operation not permitted

   Initially I assumed it was a download problem so I cleaned the cache
  and retried. I also checked disc space: 12GB free, inodes 1035169
  free. I removed libreoffice entirely (purge) and reinstalled. Up to
  then, libreoffice was working, after the reinstallation failed with
  the same error it was not there. I noted there were two systems with
  the same problem, both i386, and three systems without the problem,
  two 64bit, and one i386. I haven't tried the purge/reinstall on the
  second system because one system with no office software is already
  one too many.

  I've followed the instructions on:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure
  and the Terminal output follows:
