Hmm, I cannot reproduce this bug.  mhc-utils is installable on my
environment (sid, i386).

Anyway, I'll cleanup mhc-utils.postinst to fix this bug in the next upload.

Thanks,

Thanks for debugging.

I disabled the problematic lines just now.  Because mhc-utils's Palm
Pilot feature is currently broken.  See also bug#398459.

Debugging the postinst, the problem seems to be

db_get 'shared/pilot/port'

If I install kpilot, which asks the debconf question which port to
use, the problem goes away.
