The package kdump-tools_1.6.3-2_ppc64el.deb is the very first package that was
shipped with the initial release of 18.04. It got in between superseded with a
more current package from bionic-updates (and there is even a newer one in
bionic-proposed):
$ rmadison -a ppc64el kdump-tools | grep bionic
kdump-tools | 1:1.6.3-2 | bionic | ppc64el
kdump-tools | 1:1.6.5-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 | bionic-updates | ppc64el
[ kdump-tools | 1:1.6.5-1ubuntu1~18.04.3 | bionic-proposed | ppc64el ]
Means that an old package version is in use and the system is not up-to-date.
Please install and then retry with the current kdump-tools version
1:1.6.5-1ubuntu1~18.04.1.
Update the archive index with:
sudo apt update
and either install all updates (if appropriate):
sudo apt full-upgrade
or selective install/update with:
sudo apt install kdump-tools
and post again the output/result. Thx

Configuring kexec-tools
-----------------------
If you choose this option, a system reboot will trigger a restart into a
kernel loaded by kexec instead of going
through the full system boot loader process.

reboot is still required in order to enable
the crashkernel kernel parameter.

====
Can you attach the /var/log/syslog to see what sort of messages are getting
logged (if any)?
It might be worthwhile if you can add a set -x at the start of the
following:
/target/var/lib/dpkg/info/kdump-tools.postinst
and
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools
if they exist to see what is going on in them at the time of the
failure
