Comment:
Is this specific to AMD64 somehow? I mean, a sed error? surely these
apps are consistent accross platforms?

Comment:
I don't reproduce the bug, but I don't think it's arch dependant.
Looking at postinst script /var/lib/dpkg/info/ntlmaps.postinst, there are 2 sed lines

sed -e "s/^[[:blank:]]*$LISTENPORT_ENTRY:.*/$LISTENPORT_ENTRY: $LISTENPORT/" \
-e "s/^[[:blank:]]*$PARENTPROXY_ENTRY:.*/$PARENTPROXY_ENTRY: $PARENTPROXY/" \
-e "s/^[[:blank:]]*$PARENTPROXYPORT_ENTRY:.*/$PARENTPROXYPORT_ENTRY: $PARENTPROXYPORT/" \
-e "s/^[[:blank:]]*$NTDOMAIN_ENTRY:.*/$NTDOMAIN_ENTRY: $NTDOMAIN/" \
-e "s/^[[:blank:]]*$NTUSER_ENTRY:.*/$NTUSER_ENTRY: $NTUSER/" \

and

sed -e "s/^[[:blank:]]*$NTPASSWD_ENTRY:.*/$NTPASSWD_ENTRY: $NTPASSWD/"

I think one of this variable contains sed special characters like /,( or
[ , probably $NTPASSWD

Do you have any of this characters in your password ?

Comment:
I did dpkg-reconfigure ntlmaps and enter a nt password with sed special
characters and this definitely makes the postint script stop with an
error.
