That occur during an installation/uninstallation of an any package.

:~$ ls -ld /dev/disk/by-uuid*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 140 Oct  6 16:22 /dev/disk/by-uuid

sda1 is / in my system
sdb1 is swap
sdb2 is /home

lilo is installed on sda (but lilo is not the problem, with grub and lilo purged is the same error)
sdb is IBM ServeRAID M5014

sda2 unused partition
sdc is an external usb hard disk

On ubuntu 11.10 this error never existed. This error occurred when
upgraded first time the kernel on ubuntu 12.04. Since then appears each
time I use apt-get or synaptic (sorry for my bad english).

G.N.
