I have a strange program. On Debian, trying to upgrade the gettext
package I get the following:
Unpacking gettext (from .../gettext_0.10.40-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/gettext_0.10.40-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
unable to make backup link of `./usr/share/gettext/intl/VERSION' before
installing new version: Operation not permitted
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
OK, I figured something was wrong in the package, so I went to try to
delete the file, to see if that fixed it.
$ more /usr/share/gettext/intl/VERSION
GNU gettext library from gettext-0.10.35
$ ls -l /usr/share/gettext/intl/VERSION
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41 Jul 19 2000
/usr/share/gettext/intl/VERSION
rm: remove write-protected file `/usr/share/gettext/intl/VERSION'? y
rm: cannot unlink `/usr/share/gettext/intl/VERSION': Operation not
permitted
This is as root... anybody have a clue what could be going on here? I
can't rename the file, but I can copy it. What else should I look at?
Thanks,
P

This is purely SWAG[0], but check the processies to see if the file is
in use. I've been got by that gotcha before. The process may be the
child of a child of a child, ad infinitum, so it might require some
looking.

This is where lsof (if you have it) comes in handy.
lsof <filename> can tell you what processes are using a file.
