This basically looks like the same bug as #419189, but with different files.

Could you please send us the output of 'ls -l /lib/tls' as well as the
content of /var/log/dpkg.log. This will help us to better understand the
problem.


Note: to restore your system, you can just do a 'mv /lib/tls
/lib/tls.old'. Those file should have been removed by dpkg during the
upgrade.
