Summary 0003634: dpkg -r crashes if no conffiles
Description If attempting to remove a debian package that has no conffiles in its DEBIAN subdirectory, busybox attempts to move the conffiles anyway and fails. Suggest that if conffiles isn't there, don't fail - just ignore it.

 I don't see where it dies in this case. I have no debian packages to play with.
Can you pinpoint where it fails?

I see only two renames which can result in dpkg aborting,
none of these linked to conffiles:

static void write_status_file(deb_file_t **deb_file)
{
...
        /* Create a separate backfile to dpkg */
        if (rename("/var/lib/dpkg/status", "/var/lib/dpkg/status.udeb.bak") == -1) {
                if (errno != ENOENT)
                        bb_error_msg_and_die("cannot create backup status file");
                /* Its ok if renaming the status file fails because status
                 * file doesnt exist, maybe we are starting from scratch */
                bb_error_msg("no status file found, creating new one");
        }

        xrename("/var/lib/dpkg/status.udeb", "/var/lib/dpkg/status");
}
