Hi,
The problem is coming from the sed command present in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam-yubico.postinst. The problem is the secret key string is a base64 string, so it can contain some slashes. As slash is the separator of sed command: sed -e "s/#DEBCONF_REPLACE/$RET/g" sed fails because the slashes in $RET would need to be escaped. A simple solution is to change the separator in the sed command by a pipe: sed -e "s|#DEBCONF_REPLACE|$RET|g" Fab
