Hah, you're right. Not much we can do about that though I think, as the
message comes from dpkg. Except maybe add a message stating that the
files are somewhere else than mentioned.
We are abusing dpkg's recursive unpacking feature to clean the ordering
code up a bit.

Title:
error processing archive message should point to /var/cache
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
$ apt-get dist-upgrade
...
Unpacking libtesseract-data (3.04.01-4.1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-5RxrWp/069-libtesseract-data_3.04.01-4.1_all.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite
'/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/configs/ambigs.train', which is also in
package libtesseract3 3.04.01-4build1
Preparing to unpack .../070-libtesseract3_3.04.01-4.1_amd64.deb ..
...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-5RxrWp/069-libtesseract-data_3.04.01-4.1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
the error message above points to a tempfile path that does not exist any
more.
It would probably more useful to point to the file path:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libtesseract-data_3.04.01-4.1_all.deb
so that I could dpkg -i that path rather than having to find it.
