For me when installing lftp 2.6.8-1 the postinstall script at /etc/postinstall/lftp.sh gets stuck in an infinite loop on lines 23-27 if you have and existing /etc/lftp.conf file. The output gets set to the /var/log/setup.log.full file filling up the disk. I cancelled the install and found that the file was over a 1.5 GB in size! I removed the file, reinstalled the package, killed the sh process of the postinstall script and the rest of the postinstall scripts for the other packages finished successfully. The setup.log.full showed more of the same output from the lftp.sh script, but since the sh process was killed did not fill the disk again. I guess another workaround would be to move the /etc/lftp.conf out of the way before the running the installer and put it back when it is done (unless you want the new version).
I don't know if anyone else has run into this, but thought I should send something out to let people know to be on the lookout.
