old-postinst abort-upgrade new-version
If prerm fails during upgrade or fails on failed upgrade.

If prerm fails during removal.
postinst abort-deconfigure in-favour new-package new-version
[ removing old-package old-version ]
If prerm fails during deconfiguration of a package.
postinst abort-remove in-favour new-package new-version
If prerm fails during replacement due to conflict.
