[Bug 996712] Re: package nfs-kernel-server 1:1.2.5-3ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Steve Langasek]

This doesn't look to me like a bug in nfs-kernel-server, but some wrong
output on the debconf pipe that has put things in a wrong state.
Reassigning to debconf, though I suspect this is actually a bug in
something earlier in the mythbuntu installer.

The error in the logs is:
