Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

I encountered this error also when trying to update Xubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 with do-release-upgrade.

I got the following output:

Preparing to replace php5-suhosin 0.9.33-1 (using .../php5-suhosin_0.9.33-3build1_amd64.deb) ...
mv: cannot move `/etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini' to `/etc/php5/mods-available/suhosin.ini': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/php5-suhosin_0.9.33-3build1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already

The upgrade aborted half-way and after rebooting the system did not recognize my ethernet adapter any more. I was able to get a network access by booting an older kernel. After that I run "apt-get -f install" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" and now I seem to have a working Xubuntu 12.10 system.

This seems to be Debian bug #675278

Additionally I have the following messages in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log:
