The bug reporter can work around problem by creating /var/lib/mixmaster
as root before installing this package.

This seems to be fixed in package by either

* Change debian/mixmaster.postinst.in at the first 
  "mkdir /var/lib/mixmaster/... " to 
  "mkdir -p/var/lib/mixmaster/... ".

* Add to debian/mixmaster.dirs with the
  "var/lib/mixmaster"

As I checked, this is not a bug I introduced with my NMU.
I will let Colin handle this.

Good luck

Osamu
