This bug now affects me on both 12.04.5 LTS x64 as well as 14.04 LTS
x64.

Package:
/var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata_2014i-0ubuntu0.12.04_all.deb
Error: unable to make backup link of `./usr/share/zoneinfo/ROC' before installing new version: Operation not permitted

Tried to install time-zone and daylight-saving time data update.
Same issue that occurred during 14.04 distribution upgrade.

Please investigate this issue immediately, I believe this can become a
very serious bug in the entire Ubuntu timezone system, especially if it
has anything to do with why my apt package became broken after a bad
update.

Title:
  package tzdata 2014e-0ubuntu0.12.04 failed to install/upgrade: unable

Bug description:
  I posted about this problem on askubuntu.com. Instead of reiterating
  everything again, please see my post here:

  packages-kubuntu-14-04-1-after-upgrade-from-12-04-5

  This issue must be a bug, I'm just not sure if it is a situation that
  is reproduceable or not. The bug seemed to occur at the upgrade
  process while I still was logged into my Kubuntu 12.04 environment.
