Looks like you have some file system corruption. You'll need to look at these
scripts are repair them. They are:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/dpkg.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/dbus.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/netselect.postinst
In general, package configuration scripts are in /var/lib/dpkg/info and their
filename is always something like $package.{pre,post}{inst,rm}.
If you have no other way of repairing the files, you can add (exit 0) as the
first line just after the shebang.
