That's the relevant part of the log:
Processing triggers for postgresql-common ...
debconf: DbDriver "templatedb": /var/cache/
dpkg: error processing postgresql-common (--unpack):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
This seems to be a bug in how update-manager handles debconf?
