There's a ton of similar errors
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=unable+to+make+backup+link),
I'll duplicate them together and assign to dpkg for now. This could also
be a kernel issue, see bug 1498162, although that particular issue was
for a different case.

** Package changed: glibmm2.4 (Ubuntu) => dpkg (Ubuntu)
