Bug Description

Trying to install latest version of firefox on dapper:

(Reading database ... 271456 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-0ubuntu1 (using .../firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-0ubuntu2_i386.deb) ...
cp: cannot overwrite non-directory `/usr/lib/firefox/././chrome' with directory `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/./chrome'
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-0ubuntu2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

/usr/lib/firefox/chrome is a directory, so I can't see why it should fail. The extra ./ in the filename might cause the trouble.
