dpkg --debug -i output attached. The problem appears to be in the REMOVAL script for the previous version of onboard (0.87).

Also, here is a work-around:
dpkg -r onboard
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/onboard_0.91_all.deb

Not sure why, but removing it as a separate step makes the problem go away. (In this case, there are no dependencies so it is not difficult to remove.)
