Hi Sasha, thanks very much for taking the time to file a bug report.

Without the actual output of the post-installation script, its quite impossible for us to debug this issue. If you still have the system and can log in to it, maybe try running

sudo apt-get -f install

to see if it tries to fix the issue and has the same error.

Setting to Incomplete pending response from Sasha.
