Sadly I'm still seeing this on Debian/wheezy systems
(puppet, screen + man-db all being from wheezy - package
installation running via puppet agent):

,---- [ rewrapped c/p from puppet dashboard log ]
| Unpacking screen (from .../screen_4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-7_amd64.deb) ...
| Processing triggers for install-info ...
| Processing triggers for man-db ...
| /var/lib/dpkg/info/man-db.postinst: 44: /var/lib/dpkg/info/man-db.postinst: 3: Bad file descriptor
| dpkg: error processing man-db (--unpack): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
| Errors were encountered while processing: man-db E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Has anyone made any further progress on this issue?
