As you can see in the package amsn in intrepid

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/amsn/filelist

There is no "/usr/share/doc/amsn/READMEpt_BR"

Instead that file is in amsn-data:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/all/amsn-data/filelist

The same happens with jaunty:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/amsn/filelist
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/all/amsn-data/filelist

Are you sure that you installed amsn from the ubuntu repository?

Preparing to replace amsn 0.97.2~debian-0ubuntu3 (using .../amsn_0.97.2-1~getdeb1_i386.deb) ...

Yep, you are installing a package which is not in the ubuntu archive which is causing the problem.
This bug seems invalid to me, can i close it?

cosè che devo fare??

[Vincenzo Ampolo (vincenzo-ampolo)]

Nicolò, il pacchetto di amsn che stai cercando di installare non è nei repository ufficiali, probabilmente il tuo /etc/apt/sources.list è stato modificato inserendo dei repo non sicuri e che possono generare errori di questo tipo.
La soluzione è nel cancellare dall'/etc/apt/sources.list tutti i repository non ufficiali e rifare l'upgrade.

Nicolò, the amsn pacakge you are upgrading is not from an ubuntu repository, please check your /etc/apt/sources.list and clean it from not official repositories, then perform the upgrade.

[Vincenzo Ampolo (vincenzo-ampolo)]

Problem is related to user sources.list
