Another alternative would be to comment out the command that produces the error in the maintenance script and try again. I have had to do this several times, Theese scripts are located in /var/lib/dpkg/info/, in your case files /var/lib/dpkg/info/fail2ban*

Thanks for sharing the solution! The idea of ​​using snapshots and editing scripts is beneficial and practical in situations like this.
