In my case the probelm was a missing "couchdb" group:
Errors were encountered while processing:
couchdb-bin
couchdb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up couchdb-bin (1.0.1-0ubuntu3~lucid1) ...
chown: invalid group: `couchdb:couchdb'
To "fix" the problem do something like the following:
root@cowputer:~# grep couchdb /etc/passwd
couchdb:x:107:116:CouchDB Administrator,,,:/var/lib/couchdb:/bin/bash
The add the following line to /etc/group:
couchdb:x:116:couchdb
remove and reinstall couchdb
It worked for me.
