I had some problems recently while trying to upgrade a package.  dpkg
kept getting "Operation not permitted" while trying to execute a
script.  Turned out that my ext3 filesystem had some very nice looking
corruption (files with permissions "?rw?rwx--t" and such!!!).  touch
/forcefsck, reboot a few times, fix everything.  Very odd...
