[Bug 738717] Re: package login 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: impossible de créer un lien symbolique de secours de « ./bin/login » avant d'installer une nouvelle version: Opération non permise

[Laurent Lyaudet]

This bug was due to immutable attribute on /bin/login (lsattr /bin/login).
You can solve it by removing i attribute: sudo chattr -i /bin/login
Then install the update.
If you want, you can  make login immutable again: sudo chattr +i /bin/login
