[Bug 1113295] Re: package man-db 2.6.1-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 13

[Colin Watson]

I can't be totally certain, but this looks as if perhaps /var is mounted
noexec, which isn't a valid configuration.  At any rate this does not
appear to be a bug in man-db but some more general configuration problem
with the system.  Feel free to follow up with more details if this is
still occurring (which I realise is unlikely after nearly two years;
sorry!).

** Changed in: man-db (Ubuntu)
