package man-db 2.5.7-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Binary package hint: man-db

I used sudo apt-get install mutt

a window came up which did not allow me to use the 'enter' key on the keyboard. I could not achieve keyboard or mouse focus within the window.

Eventually I was forced to kill the process.
