As noted, this is almost certainly not a dpkg bug. Feel free to report
again (preferably against a more appropriate package), with a
transcript, if it recurs.

Postinstall gunzip failure doesn't stop package install
Can you please provide a transcript of this behaviour ? I suspect that
the problem is in some package script, rather than in dpkg, and a
transcript would show where.
