Well, the code to update packages hasnt changed much, it uses the lock
transaction functions which so far as I know havent changed much either, they
copy to /tmp, then updates occur there, then its copied back...perhaps
something
is randomly wiping things from /tmp? Maybe you've got a size limit on your
tmpfs
/tmp and tmpfs is being stupid and removing the files, or refusing to copy
things, or perhaps refusing to write to them?

If your /tmp is tmpfs I would try filling /tmp up, or decreasing the maximum
size of /tmp and then seeing if the problem occurs more often...

It could be weirdness with xfs also, but i doubt that, despite my misgivings
with xfs, or maybe a flakey drive, again doubtful but worth looking into.

Other than that I dont have any other ideas...a super-debug log would probably
help too if you can reproduce the problem. Thanks.
