## Description

Post install script after upgrading from 3.3.1 -> 3.3.3-1 I now get the following errors when I perform any "apt-get"

`
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up couchdb (3.3.3-1~bullseye) ...
dpkg: error processing package couchdb (--configure):
installed couchdb package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 20
Errors were encountered while processing:
couchdb
`

Note, couchdb is running 3.3.3.-1 now, but it is blocking me from installing other packages because apt-get thinks the post install script for couchdb did not complete.

## Steps to Reproduce

apt-get install

## Expected Behaviour

Post install script to run

## Your Environment

Running Debian 11: Linux amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.209-2 (2024-01-31) x86_64 GNU/Linux

## Additional Context

This happens to all three of the nodes in my cluster.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure on Debian 11 with apt-get and examine the CouchDB 3.3.3-1 post-installation script that returns exit status 20. Done means the package configures successfully and subsequent apt-get operations no longer report CouchDB as not fully installed.
