Thank you for reporting this. Next time, to make us even happier with
the format of the report, use the "reportbug" command. I have now done
this for you and will put in your e-mail address as submitter.
Besides that, your report is very useful and has the information needed.

The english message would be:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

No hay que traducir los mensajes - normalmente los entendemos en quada
lingua que utiliza el alfabeto europeo ;-). Son muy simple y no hay
muchos differentes mensajes.

Hm. What kind of filesystem do you have on /tmp? It seems one cannot
set permissions there, which is odd.

That bug (together with #248351, #284469) was figured out to be
caused by a buggs xfs implementation in the 2.4.18 Linux kernel. Now
as even the bf-kernel is 2.4.27 and should have a non-broken
implementation these bugs can be closed.
Kind Regards,
