I can not provide actually a fix withotu digging further into the gnuhealth
package, but just some hints:

1) tryton-server [1] is passing piuparts and basically this seems also to apply
for gnuhealth-server [2]. The error seems to be  caused by the gnuhealth
package scripts or the tools it uses.

2) Looking at the logs [3] the error occurs in the run of
db-config-common:

populating database via scriptfile...  [Fri Mar 14 03:40:32
2014] INFO:server:using /etc/gnuhealth/gnuhealth-server.conf as configuration
file

So I would suggest to search in that direction, looking for something changing
the environment to cause this error.
