This was especially troublesome because it made the upgrade of ubuntu 18.04 to
20.04 end in an error. No great harm was done afaik, it just looks very scary.
I could reproduce it once after the upgrade, which produces the above output.
Now i cannot reproduce this anymore. I ran apt-get autoremove after
successfully reproducing this error, possibly this has fixed it( this seems
improbable to me). There was a lot to remove because the upgrade did not clean
up because of the error. I added the apt history log.
Unfortunately i couldn't find any more elaborate error message in the dpkg log.
Nor could a find a hard-coded "exit 7" in the post installation script
