Sorry, I reacted before I read Martin's comment. Reading more closely, `Operation not permitted' is a very strange error to get here.
Do you have selinux enabled or something ? Or have you used chattr +i on some files ? Is NFS involved ? Could you please strace dpkg doing this operation, with strace dpkg -ttvvs500 -o dpkg.strace -i tzdata_2007b-0ubuntu1_all.deb and then attach the resulting dpkg.strace file to the bug report ?
