Hi, Can you add: set -o xtrace to the beginning of /var/lib/dpkg/info/whereami.postinst, and then do a "dpkg --configure --pending" to get it to run with all the debugging on. If you can send me the output from that it should help me to identify the problem. If this doesn't work, contact with me off-list and I will send you a new one with debugging on. At 0.3.0 (not released) I removed support for the older (pre 0.1.0) shell script process and it is possible you are being bitten by that. I have a 0.3.2 in the wings, so it would be good to get this fix into that too.
