We are having a similar problem with Puppet 3.7.1 (running as a puppet-apply provisioner under Vagrant 1.6.3).
When Puppet installs packages using apt-get, the package installation sometimes hangs when running the mandb postinst trigger (it does not look like it is always the same package which causes the hang); closer investigation reveals that it is in fact the mandb process which hangs because apparently a file descriptor it tries to access has become inaccessible. Setting DEBCONF_REDIR="" when running puppet-apply seems to help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
