The Perl patch is here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=36;filename=etch_03_fix_file_path;att=1;bug=286922 It is a recursive implementation of rmtree. What it does is 1) get the inode of the path 2) unlink it altogether if not a dir 3) otherwise, chdir to it 4) check that '.' still has the same inode, otherwise bail out.
