Bug#361216: Reinstalling dictionaries-common
I found on packages.debian.org that the missing script is located in dictionaries-common package so I tried reinstalling it and it worked. So *something* is broken, but not necessarily the post-install script. Log below. Regards, Max # apt-get install --reinstall dictionaries-common Reading package lists...

You broke it somehow yourself. True, but this 'somehow' is by typical use of apt and re-installing OO.org packages, so it's possible that control scripts of some related package contains dangerous code which broke dictionaries-common install.

I do not think any control script anywhere has code to remove that script (that would be a serious bug). I tend to think you experienced some sort of failure in your system.
