Looking at the manpage there are 3 situations that can cause this:
* /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci has the sticky bit sit and dpkg is not running
with the euid of /var/lig/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm
* /var/lib/dpkg/info has the sticky bit and dpkg runs with a different
euid than the owner of /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm
* the filesystem doesn't support the rename
None of these can occur: the first two can't because dpkg is running as
root, and the 3rd can't happen with ext3.
This looks like a kernel bug.
