Oops, my bad. Indeed I (accidentally) had left the root filesystem
mounted readonly, after investigating another (unrelated) problem.
When I next logged in again, the apport applet popped up, to let me file
this bug, but unfortunately, there was no easy way to see the contents
of the report (DpkgTerminalLog.gz), which would have shown me that this
report was entirely silly... Sorry for wasting your time like this.
