This happened to me as well, and was fixed by the updates today. I don't
know what exactly did the trick, though. I suspect it was either libc or
libntfs, which had left a bogus /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libntfs.conf (a
directory instead of a configuration file), which I had to fix by hand after
seeing the error issued by dpkg. It is really infrequent, but sometimes
"unstable" lives up to its name :)

Bye
