Bug Description
Did an upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10. Eventually ran into the error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
zfsutils-linux
zfs-zed
Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Before I hit this error I had run into a failure in starting the service to mount ZFS filesystems due to an error about my mount point that uses ZFS not being empty. Not sure if this is relevant for the main issue though.

Note that I was able to recover from this by doing a sudo dpkg --configure -a which then prompted me about what to do for my existing zfs-zed package. I still got an error in the end indicating that there were failures during the process but my system seemed stable. A quick reboot later cat /sys/module/ zfs/version shows 0.8.1-1ubuntu12 and all seems to be well...so far :)
