I'm trying to update a frugal persistent (root and home) install of antiX-15 x64 from stable to testing.
I changed the source lists and ran apt-get update.
apt-get upgrade then fails with the following error:
Unpacking perl (5.20.2-6) over (5.20.2-3+deb8u1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/perl_5.20.2-6_amd64.deb (--unpack):
unable to make backup link of `./usr/bin/psed' before installing new version: No such file or directory
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I tried to check and/or remove extended attributes (as described here What means "unable to make backup link of /binary before installing new version: No such file or directory"?), but lsattr and chattr don't work on aufs.
