[Bug 837525] Re: package PACKAGE failed to install/upgrade: error writing to '<standard output>': No such file or directory

[Brian Murray]

Bug 838888 has the same error message however there is some more
detailed information in its DpkgTerminalLog.txt:

Processing triggers for man-db ...
Use of uninitialized value $reply in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Passthrough.pm line 66.
Use of uninitialized value $reply in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Passthrough.pm line 67.
Use of uninitialized value $reply in split at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Passthrough.pm line 68.

That looks a lot like bug 442941.
