This error means that dpkg was not able to move the "/usr/share/doc/libqt4-script" file, even as root. This usually means that the file is corrupted. Unfortunately this is nothing we can fix on our end, so we are converting this bug to a question so that you can hopefully get some help. (A bit late though, eh? Sorry about that...)
