Since I haven't received any further feedback from you and the existing
information is insufficient to diagnose the bug report, I'm going to
downgrade the severity. It's not even clear which package exactly failed.

If you have time to further help debugging this, please add "set -x" to
the failing maintainer script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/$pkg.{postinst,preinst}

and report back with the output.
