[Bug 874790] Re: package base-files 5.0.0ubuntu28 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package base-files is already installed and configured

[Raphaël Hertzog]

The real error is the one below and it doesn't make sense to me. Can you
show us the output of "ls -l /mnt" ? Do you use some security module
(selinux, smack, etc.) that could refuse the access to /mnt ?

Can you show us the output of "mount" ? Did you have something mounted
on /mnt during the install ?

Preparing to replace base-files 5.0.0ubuntu28 (using .../base-
files_6.4ubuntu5_i386.deb) ...

Unpacking replacement base-files ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/base-
files_6.4ubuntu5_i386.deb (--unpack):

 unable to stat `./mnt' (which I was about to install): Permission
denied
