package couchdb-bin 1.0.1-0ubuntu17 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This bug was fixed in the package couchdb - 1.2.0-2ubuntu1

---------------
couchdb (1.2.0-2ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1022515, LP: #817656):
    - fixes ownership of /etc/couchdb. LP: #731272.
  * Remaining changes:
    - Use pkg-config instead of the js-config script shipped by libmozjs
    - debian/rules, debian/control: split couchdb and couchdb-bin
    - debian/postinst: renamed to couchdb-bin.postinst
    - debian/couchdb-bin.postrm: don't try to delete couchdb system
      user/group
  * Dropped changes, superseded upstream:
    - Backport svn r1039345 from 1.0.3
    - debian/patches/couchio-*: patchset from CouchIO to fix U1 replication
      over SSL. It's not clear if these were upstreamed, but most of the
      source files they applied to no longer exist at all upstream, so if
      these are still needed they will need to be redone.
    - debian/patches/fix-help2man.patch: dropped, no longer needed
    - debian/patches/jquery15-fix.patch: Make Futon work with jQuery 1.5
    - debian/patches/moz*.patch: Spidermonkey 1.8.54 patchset
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - debian/control - bump standards version
    - debian/control - fix lintian error not-binnmuable-all-depends-any
    - Build against a proper libmozjs
    - Update build-depends/depends/build config (we no longer need the
      --with-js build flags)
  * Dropped changes, superseded in Debian:
    - source/format - mark package as 1.0 format
    - change the default permissions on /etc/couchdb to 0775 and files to
      0664

  [ Jason Gerard DeRose ]
  * /etc/couchdb/default.ini and /etc/couchdb/default.d are delivered in the
    `couchdb-bin` package and are owned by root
  * /etc/couchdb/local.ini and /etc/couchdb/local.d are delivered in the
  * The `couchdb-bin` package does not create nor require the "couchdb" user
    (this is now done in the `couchdb` package instead). LP: #1007125.
  * Added a short sleep delay in couchdb.postrm so couchdb is more likely to
    have actually terminated by the time we `deluser couchdb`, which is needed
    for `sudo apt-get purge couchdb` to work when couchdb is running
