Can't remove the `percona-telemetry-agent` package

Description

Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 inside a Docker container.

I was removing Percona Server for MongoDB with

sudo apt-get purge percona-server-mongodb-server percona-telemetry-agent

and got some errors related to the telemetry agent, the server has been removed successfully though. Removing the agent individually produced the following:

$ sudo apt-get remove percona-telemetry-agent Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: percona-telemetry-agent 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 111 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 20.1 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] (Reading database ... 72567 files and directories currently installed.) Removing percona-telemetry-agent (1.0.1-1.noble) ... debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 79.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down dpkg: error processing package percona-telemetry-agent (--remove): installed percona-telemetry-agent package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1 dpkg: too many errors, stopping Errors were encountered while processing: percona-telemetry-agent Processing was halted because there were too many errors. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I guess the issue is that the OS works in a Docker container and thus no systemd is available, while the post-removal script assumes it is present.
