Bug#427423: libgnome2-common fails to upgrade with parse error

[Alex Volkov]

Hello and thanks a lot,
I removed the file and created the correct symbolic link on its place -
the upgrade succeeded and now everything is working correctly. 

It was a random file corruption. I wanted to confirm/disconfirm your
suspicion and ran fsck.ext3 on root filesystem  -  it found a mountain
of broken inodes, but it seems to fix them all. 

I don't know what caused that, disk health is OK and I had a regular
disk file check three days ago, which didn't find anything abnormal,
however I'm making backups right now.

Thanks for helping me, and sorry for wasting your time.

Alex.
