What filesystem are you using? This error message means that a simple
open fails:
fd= open(fnamenewvb.buf, (O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_WRONLY), 0);
if (fd < 0)
ohshite(_("unable to create `%.255s' (while processing `%.255s')"),
fnamenewvb.buf, ti->name);
And those arguments O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_WRONLY are very common and should
not result in the error you gave.
Can you show us the output of "ls -al /etc/dpkg/" and "mount" ?
