Just a guess: you have your /usr partition mounted read-only, and for
some reason Dpkg was unable to remount it read-write. Try remounting it
yourself and ensure it's writable before running apt-get dist-upgrade,
and see if it then works. And, regardless, file a bug report containing
the details.

Hmmm, that means there's no bsdutils.postinst in /var/log/dpkg/info, where
dpkg should have unpacked it. Maybe fallout from the above error?
