Do you have /usr/bin and /usr/lib/nmh on different partitions?
$ df /usr/bin /usr/lib/nmh
The package has /usr/bin/install-mh & /usr/lib/nmh/install-mh hardlinked
to each other, which won't work if the directories are on different
partitions.
This is arguably a packaging error, though very few people would come
across it.
