Serious dpkg error
Dear Debian people, dpkg have done something realy interesting on my
computer.
Beware: This is not the average "dpkg doesn't work" type of question.
Don't ask me how this happened I don't know.
Let me show you the problem
mastereve:~# apt-get -f install

ok, so I delete /var/lib/dpkg/info/telnetd.postinst and get on with it,
right? worng.
mastereve:~# cd /var/lib/dpkg/info/
mastereve:/var/lib/dpkg/info# ls -la telnetd.postinst
b--sr-Sr-x 1 18698 24909 32, 111 Sep 17 1997 telnetd.postinst
mastereve:/var/lib/dpkg/info# rm telnetd.postinst
rm: cannot unlink `telnetd.postinst': Operation not permitted
mastereve:/var/lib/dpkg/info# lsattr telnetd.postinst
lsattr: No such device While reading flags on telnetd.postinst
mastereve:/var/lib/dpkg/info# chattr -i telnetd.postinst
chattr: No such device while reading flags on telnetd.postinst
mastereve:/var/lib/dpkg/info# rm -rf telnetd.postinst
rm: cannot unlink `telnetd.postinst': Operation not permitted
It's impossible to remove these two files...
I have tried fsck:ing the partition and it doesn't help.
Can you give some insight to this maybe?
