You have selinux enabled, and for whatever reason, setting the
appropriate security context for the maintainer script, likely because
you haven't upgraded refpolicy to properly support dpkg_script_t or

Fix that, and you should be able to complete the install.

The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and
Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making
mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes
from being corrected.
