Public bug reported:
dpkg has failed to install or upgrade certain packages recently, with
the following (sample) output:
Unpacking linux-image-4.13.0-21-generic (4.13.0-21.24) over (4.13.0-21.24) ...
Preparing to unpack
.../linux-image-extra-4.13.0-21-generic_4.13.0-21.24_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking linux-image-extra-4.13.0-21-generic (4.13.0-21.24) ...
dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-extra-4.13.0-21-generic_4.13.0-21.24_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
unable to open
'/lib/modules/4.13.0-21-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx.ko.dpkg-new':
Operation not permitted
[1] 18746 segmentation fault sudo apt install -f
%
This problem appears seemingly at random, and has already occurred
several times. apt will sometimes segfault, but other times report that
dpkg errored. Repeatedly running the command results in a different file
being shown every time, seemingly sequentially. Removing the whole
directory tree and retrying does not solve the problem.
Ubuntu version: 17.10
What was supposed to happen: linux-image-4.13.0-21-generic getting installed
successfully
What happened instead: apt segfaulted after dpkg failed to write to a file
** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
