Here is whats happening:

Stopping postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.
db4.7_upgrade: Program version 4.7 doesn't match environment version 4.8

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/postgrey_1.32-4_all.deb (--unpack):

this causes the unpack to fail and this causes the subsequent configure to fail. This is not a dpkg/apt bug
but a bug in the postgrey package (or in the db handling code).
