doc-base breaks installation

[Johann Spies <jhspies@adept.co.za>]

I have now - after some frustration succeeded in fine-tuning a new
potato system.

One of my frustrations was doc-base.  Several times apt would not
function because of error messages of the some packages' control
script relating to doc-base.  Later I found that if I remove doc-base,
the installation would proceed smoothly.

Is the problem with doc-base or are the postinst scripts of the
packages buggy?
