Ah, I think the hardware error is a false positive here. dpkg needs to
check existing symlinks on unpack in order to actually respect them - -
i. .e the admin might have moved a directory to a different place and
put a symlink instead, and dpkg respects/maintains that. Thus a package
can never
Gunnar, quite often sounds worrysome -- this smells like a dpkg bug
then? Did you see more duplicates of this?
This is an utterly complex and probably brittle workaround. If we need
such a workaround, then the pre*inst* should call dpkg -L pkgname
(this needs to be generated by debian/rules),

Hi Theo,
The nature of the error indicates an hardware problem. You can probably
fix it for you by running:
sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-docs
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-docs

Hi Martin,
This kind of error happens quite often. Upgrading works if you manually
remove the erroneous symlink. Given that, would removing all the
symlinks in a prerm script be a totally crazy idea?
