you asked me to add set -x. there is already set -e so should that become set -ex or should set -e be replaced with set-x?

Yes, but instead put
set -x
in there and then send me the full output (lots!) of the dpkg run.

before I ' dpkg --configure -a' should I remove the "exit 0" I placed at the top of the postinstall script such that it would continue past the error?

Ok, so it works. Strange.

Can you run
dpkg --configure -a
as root?
