The real error is the one below and it doesn't make sense to me. Can you
show us the output of "ls -l /mnt" ? Do you use some security module
(selinux, smack, etc.) that could refuse the access to /mnt ?

Can you show us the output of "mount" ? Did you have something mounted
on /mnt during the install ?

Preparing to replace base-files 5.0.0ubuntu28 (using .../base-

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
