Title:
  apport-retrace crashed with subprocess.CalledProcessError in
  check_call(): Command '['dpkg', '-x', '/srv/vms/apport-retrace/Ubuntu
  24.04/apt/var/cache/apt/archives//base-files_13ubuntu9_amd64.deb',
  '/tmp/apport_sandbox_zj9wto2z']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I'm finding it impossible to retrace any crashes with the version of
  apport packaged in noble or with upstream commit id
  adfe3698731b69b0f19ca36ecca90d8e96001250.

  The retracing process ends with the following lines:

  Extracting downloaded debs...
  tar: ./lib: Cannot create symlink to ‘usr/lib’: File exists
  tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
  dpkg-deb: error: tar subprocess returned error exit status 2

  subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['dpkg', '-x', '/srv/vms/apport-retrace/Ubuntu 24.04/apt/var/cache/apt/archives//base-files_13ubuntu9_amd64.deb', '/tmp/apport_sandbox_zj9wto2z']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

  I've tried cleaning the cache, /srv/vms/apport-retrace/Ubuntu 24.04/,
  but the retracing process continues to fail. The crashes I'm trying to
  retrace have been uploaded to Launchpad and still have the coredumps
  attached but I'd be happy to subscribe an apport developer to them.
