I haven't had any luck with the directions. I never see
/var/lib/dpkg/info/man-db.postinst. I even wrote a script to check if
the file exists and when it does, to some random but obvious stuff as an
indicator. When dpkg --configure man-db fails, should I expect to see
remnants of man-db's package or does it still cleanup correctly upon
failure?
