What?  You've never seen that message?

It's something to the effect of:

 configuration failed for package dhcbd 
 a post-installation script exited with return code 1"

The real message should be above, but:
 invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcdbd, action "start" failed.
isn't informative.

I know I've had this happen, but can't remember why, or how to fix it.
