I don't believe I can. After sending in this bug report I did a clean
reinstall of ubuntu 20.04 and then cherry picked the files I wanted to
transfer over from the HDD. I can say that neither my current
configuration nor the backup has the files listed.
Best,
Michael

Hi Michael, looking at this issue, it seems that the problem is being
caused by by the preinst script. When inspecing the preinst script in
the package, I have found this:
--
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/update-motd.d/99-esm 19.1~
ubuntu-advantage-tools -- "$@"

# Automatically added by dh_installdeb/11.1.6ubuntu2

It is trying to remove some config files related to the package. Can you verify
if you have any of those files in your system ?
