Do you have /usr/bin and /usr/lib/nmh on different partitions?
$ df /usr/bin /usr/lib/nmhdf /usr/bin /usr/lib/nmh
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 2016016 699924 1213680 37% /
/dev/sda5 6546356 2158196 4055620 35% /disk2
There you have it; different partitions. You've clearly done some
symlinking there, probably to put /usr/lib under /disk2 (if only you'd
used LVM, which removes the need for such tricks...). Try putting in
another symlink for /usr/lib/nmh to put it back on the first disk:
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/nmh /backlinks
# mv /usr/lib/nmh /backlinks/usr-lib-nmh
# ln -s /backlinks/usr-lib-nmh /usr/lib/nmh
Then try reinstalling nmh.
