My bad, I must be getting lame in my old age.
I turned on all the debugging options and found dpkg was failing during the
postinst phases of configuring the current openbox package in sid. A quick
purge and fallback to using blackbox for now has resolved this, but the
above problem still exists if I try to install openbox.
Doesn't look like the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/openbox.postinst has a
problem, it runs with the parameter "configure" and returns an exit code of
0, and the entry for it in /var/lib/dpkg/available looks as though it's
fine. So I've no idea why this is happening :/
Apologies for my first mail being so vague.
