Hi Michael, looking at this issue, it seems that the problem is being
caused by by the preinst script. When inspecing the preinst script in
the package, I have found this:

------------------
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/99-esm 19.1~ 
ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@"
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/80-esm 19.1~ 
ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@"
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/80-livepatch 19.1~ 
ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@"
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/cron.daily/ubuntu-advantage-tools 
19.1~ ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@"
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/init/ua-auto-attach.conf 20.2~ 
ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@"
# End automatically added section
~                                      
-------------------------------------------------


It is trying to remove some config files related to the package. Can you verify 
if you have any of those files in your system ?
