I had the same problem. As suggested elsewhere in the thread, I tried to
determine if any process was using the file, and booted into single user
mode with no luck.
My solution was:
cd /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux
mv 3.3.5 3.3.5-backup
mkdir 3.3.5
# I wanted everything except the specs file here
# couldn't remember the syntax
cp 3.3.5-backup/specs.dpkg-t* 3.3.5/
cp -r 3.3.5-backup/{c,i,lib,SYS}* 3.3.5/
and then to upgrade the package as normal.
