Bug#147183: dpkg: problem temporarily resolved if I manually untar something

[Kurt Yoder <kybug@shcorp.com>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.6.15
Followup-For: Bug #147183

If I pick some random tarred file and untar it, I can install a package.
Sometimes I have to untar something twice before this will work. Right
after I've installed the one package, dpkg will fail if I try to install
a second package. I have to manually go untar some file to fix it (it
doesn't seem to matter which file I untar, just that tar is used
somehow).

BTW, a reboot did not fix this.
