[Bug 1769510] [NEW] package libstdc++-7-dev 7.3.0-16ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: unable to create new file '/var/lib/dpkg/info/libstdc++-7-dev:amd64.list-new': Operation not permitted

[Michael]

Public bug reported:

I just installed Ubuntu 18.4 (from USB) on a Lenovo ThinkPad T470. When
installing further apps (e.g. Kile) I got a number of error messages
that I first skipped but now that I signed in to Ubuntu One the program
suggests I should submit bug reports for all of them.
