The error here corresponds to a segfault from the update-notifier-common postinst script. This script is a script, containing no binaries. The programs it invokes are also either scripts, or core utilities that have very few crasher bugs.

Please show the output from the following command:
sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/update-notifier-common.postinst triggered /usr/share/package-data-downloads

Résultat (result) :
+ set -e
+ [ triggered = configure ]
+ [ triggered = triggered ]
+ /usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader
+ exit 0

Your follow-up post shows the maintainer script running correctly when run manually. The previous failure was probably a temporary hardware error of some kind, not a bug in the package.
