This is the reason why there are actually two runs of dpkg --configure --pending. Unfortunately, due to a bug in libc.postinst, base-files does not configure properly. The new native-install contains a work around (removing /var/mail). > * base-files tries to create /var/mail, but it already exists as a > symlink. Removing it and rerunning dpkg --configure works.
