Since natty, most postinst scripts fail when run by either PackageKit or the QApt Worker. These failures never occur when running under apt-get or synaptic, but since both PackageKit and QApt fail identically, and at the least PackageKit hasn't had any changes since maverick I must assume that this is a regression on a level lower than both of these. Since both the QApt Worker and PackageKit daemon run as a rooted dbus daemon, I've not ever been able to see exactly what the scripts fail with, aside from the generic "exit status 2" reported by APT. Hopefully apport will have collected more info.
