This is reroducible with the simple test case below:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# mkdir -p foo/bar/baz
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# touch foo/bar/baz/ungh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# rm -rf foo/
rm: cannot remove `foo/bar': Function not implemented

  When upgrading the buildd chroot tarballs, I got errors such as:
  
  rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control': Function not implemented
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dash_0.5.4-6ubuntu1_ia64.deb 
(--unpack):
   subprocess rm cleanup returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/dash_0.5.4-6ubuntu1_ia64.deb
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  
  Mounting /proc and trying again seemed to resolve the issue, but this is
  the first time I've ever seen such behavior.
  
  In the past, I've filed (and fixed) bugs on packages in base that would
- bomb out if /proc wasn't mounted, so it seems to be a regression that
- our packaging system itself now depends on /proc.
+ bomb postinsts if /proc wasn't mounted, so it seems to be a pretty nasty
+ regression that coreutils now depends on /proc.
