You should find out, and report a bug.  Diagnosing this problem will no
doubt be very useful to the postgresql maintainer.

It is the post-install script that is failing; this is located in $pi.
If you are lucky, it is a shell script and will be easy to debug by
running sudo sh -x $pi.  Triple points for patching the script so that
it works.  Two point penalty for echo '#!/bin/true' > $pi.

pi=/var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-common.postinst
