[Bug 1173762] Re: package man-db 2.6.3-3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[oliver]

Hmm, after inspecting this bug more closely, it could be very much my
own fault. I have certain directories loaded as a tmpfs, /var/log,
/var/tmp, /run and a few more like that and it could simply be
complaining about missing directories that don't get automatically
created.
