Public bug reported:

As root, apt-get upgrade produces the output:

Unpacking ubuntu-docs (14.04.4) over (14.04.3) ...
dpkg: error processing archive

[...]
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntu-docs_14.04.4_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The symlink in question looks like this:

/accounts-disable-service.page -> ../../../help-langpack/si/ubuntu-help
/display-dimscreen.page
