From the attached DpkgTerminalLog.txt:

poe seems to be a component in APEL so the bug might be there too.

You can probably work around this by uninstalling oneliner-el and reinstalling emacs24. If you are lucky, you will then be able to install oneliner-el again. I can speculate that this is a bug in oneliner-el but I have not looked into the details.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Try reinstalling all failing packages
sudo apt-get install --reinstall emacs25-nox emacs-nox apel oneliner-el -f

or, if that fails, try temporarily uninstalling oneliner-el, configuring the other ones and installing oneliner-el afterwards
sudo dpkg --purge oneliner-el
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install oneliner-el

Filip, since you came here from one of the duplicates, I assume the proposed workaround above actually solved it for you. Could you please confirm or elaborate? Thanks.

No it didn't... but for some people that works.
