Yes, look in /var/log/setup.log.full (as that setup page suggests) or try
running the script manually to discover why it failed.
'No package' simply means that a post-install script was found in
/etc/postinstall, but setup doesn't know which package it belongs to (I guess
'Unknown package' would be clearer). It's a bug in the current version of
setup that this occurs for all failing postinstall scripts at the moment, see [1]
