Seems to be the same issue as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/daemontools-installer/+bug/66615,
mainly, that you don't have an /etc/inittab file so that maintainer scripts
operating on it will fail; what is strange is that you should not have been
able to install it at all (for this very reason).
You can try to "sudo touch /etc/inittab/", or remove these lines:
echo "Removing svscanboot from /etc/inittab.."
grep -v svscanboot /etc/inittab > /etc/inittab.'{new}'
[ -e /etc/inittab.'{new}' ] && mv -f /etc/inittab.'{new}' /etc/inittab
from the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/daemontools.prerm, after which you
should be able to remove it successfully.
