dpkg: error processing /var/cache/

Is this expected behavior? I don't know whether this is a bug in pth or in glibc, so please re-assign as appropriate.

I'm sorry, but this still affects Edgy, and Feisty is not out yet!

Thanks for the bug report.
I'm closing this bug because it has been fixed in Feisty.
pth (2.0.7-3) unstable; urgency=medium libpthread. a in libpthread-dev
.
* Added divertion for /usr/lib/
(Closes: #379413).
* Renamed libpth2 to libpth20 and libpthread2 to libpthread20 to match the
soname.
* Removed lintian overrides.
* Bumped shlibs.
* Added libpthread20 as depends to pth-dbg.
