same problem here. tftpd-hpa broke our PXE installation and when trying to remove or purge I get the very error: dpkg: error processing package tftpd-hpa (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
I did apt-get install --reinstall tftpd-hpa and it installed properly on my Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS But again an apt-get purge tftpd-hpa failed with: Removing tftpd-hpa (5.2-7ubuntu3.1) ... tftpd-hpa stop/waiting dpkg: error processing package tftpd-hpa (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1ubuntu1) ...
