Title:
  package man-db 2.5.9-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed
  post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in “man-db” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: man-db

  Was installing deluge (torrent program) with apt-get. The downloading
  phase had just finished. In another terminal I ran `sudo tasksel`. I
  didn't run anything in the tasksel window. Then the apt-get of deluge
  failed.

  1) jake at daedalus64:~/src/quodlibet-2.3$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:        11.04

  2) ?

  3) I expected the install of deluge to finish, OR tasksel to fail to
  open as an installer like synaptic and apt-get do when there is
  another installer running.

  4) tasksel didn't not warn of another installer running, and caused
  the other installer to fail.
