What is happening is this: - you install apt-xapian-index, and postinst runs an update - you then run an update by hand, and since it's version 0.13, it's not very good at detecting that another update is running - the first update finishes before the second, notices another index left around, thinks that it's an old index, and removes it - the second update complains that a file is missing, and aborts; however, the first update gave you a working index, so everything is fine. Solution: upgrade to version 0.15. How come you have 0.13 still around? OMG, it's the one for lenny. I'll see if I manage to get the new one in, which fixes this problem.
