Looking at the line 46 in preinst (the failing location):
43 if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le 0.3.7-3 ; then
44 # PART A.2: Prepare to move conffile
45 # PART A.3: Basically rm_conffile without marking the file
obsolete (I think)
46 then
47 fi
48 fi
This looks quite broken to me (full preinst attached).
