E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This part of the error was the key: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/repo', which is also in package phablet-tools
So I un-installed phablet-tools as I was in no need of it and tried re-installing repo and the application installed with no problem.
The system error occurred during this process and so I assume that this was the reason for the error. Also the problem occurred on a machine running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
