Not a bug.

DpkgTerminalLog.txt shows the cause of the failure being invalid ownership of the PRNG seed directory:

munged: Error: PRNG seed dir is insecure: invalid ownership of "/var/lib

Unfortunately, the error message is truncated, but the directory in question is presumably "/var/lib/munge". And that directory is apparently not owned by the current "munge" user.

You should be able to fix this by running "sudo chown -R munge:munge /var/lib/munge".
