I may also have caught this bug.
Distupgrage failed so I tried the following:

family@family:~$ sudo dpkg --configure --debug=2 lirc
Setting up lirc (0.8.7-0ubuntu4) ...
D000002: fork/exec /var/lib/dpkg/info/lirc.postinst ( configure 0.8.7~pre3-0ubuntu1 )
dpkg: error processing lirc (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128
Errors were encountered while processing:
 lirc
family@family:~$ sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/lirc.postinst
 * Loading LIRC modules                                                                                                            [ OK ] 
 * Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC                                                                                        [ OK ] 

As you can see running the post install script from the term completes
with out error.

this was the 4'th box i had upgraded and the only one to have a problem
(with lirc).

should i create another bug report?

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  it wouldn't install from the update manager.  Doesn't your software
  automatically record details of things like that?
