No, ext3 partition for /var, no specific security patch, it's debian
woody with kernel 2.4.17, I have no idea how to see what's in
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm before it fails.

strace says:

[pid  4645] rename("/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm", "/var/lib/dpkg/info//groff.postrm") = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

Indeed I can't delete it (as root):

#rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/groff.postrm
rm: cannot unlink `/var/lib/dpkg/info/groff.postrm': Operation not permitted

I don't know what's wrong, but dpkg is not responsible, sorry for
bothering you.
