The problem is

    addgroup --quiet --system scanner

That line exits with code 1, and the postinstall script has a 'set -e' which means abort on any error.

If you already have the group 'scanner' (previous colord, or other scanning software) colord will fail to install or upgrade. Add a '|| true'.
