Confirmed due to large number of duplicates over short period of time.

[Julian Taylor (jtaylor)]

workaround is to install dpkg-dev which includes the missing dpkg-vendor dependency

[fejes (anthony-fejes)]

I can confirm workaround works.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.17.2-9.1ubuntu2

---------------
util-linux (2.17.2-9.1ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * Drop mount.preinst dpkg-vendor snippet; dpkg-vendor is only available in
    dpkg-dev *doh*; LP: #719754.
