As far as I can see, there happens a segfault in remove-default-wordlist, which is called in postrm of wogerman.
remove-default-wordlist is part of package dictionaries-common, so this may be an issue there.
Since remove-default-wordlist is a perl script it shouldn't segfault, so this may be an issue in some included modules, maybe Debconf::Client::ConfModule, which is part of package debconf, so the issue may be located there.
