I'm not sure what went wrong, but this is xsuspender's debian post-removal script:

xsuspender/debian/postrm

Lines 21 to 34 in 9ccfdef

	case "$1" in
	purge|remove|upgrade|failed-upgrade|abort-install|abort-upgrade|disappear)
	if command -v pkill >/dev/null; then
	pkill -TERM -f /usr/bin/xsuspender
	fi
	;;
	*)
	echo "postrm called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
	exit 1
	;;
	esac

Can you try again with increased verbosity so that we know what the error was? Probably missing one || true.

There's ways to work around it.

For anyone in the same situation, I fixed my apt by manually deleting the files installed by xsuspender and then removing the xsuspender entry from /var/lib/dpkg/status.
