Update from 0.3.34 to 0.3.40 halts to docker related packages

[tlindi]

Describe the bug
If external disk is not connected mynode updating halts on:
Setting up containerd.io (2.2.1-1~debian.12~bookworm) ...

If that is CTRL+C breaked it will also halt on redis-server

Expected behavior
Update should be possible to complete without data disk or update should be disabled before data disk is mounted.
I'd like to update before adding data disk, so all the apps and setting going to data would be the latest versions.

Screenshots

MyNode hardware (please complete the following information):

• Device: Raspi4
• Version. 0.3.34 -> 0.3.40

Additional context

1. There's a real trouble to fix this updating manually as container.io current is some 2.2.x whereas mynode 0.3.34 comes with (was it) 1.7.x. redis-server has no big version update, but it halts too.
2. Command line that's causing halt is: - /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/containerd.io.postinst configure 1.7.25-1
   If run manually it is revealed that version number is older than package updated

sudo  /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/containerd.io.postinst configure 1.7.25-1

3. Issue occurs both manual and with OneClick updates too.
4. All affected are (can be seen after interrupting update and running sudo dpkg --configure -a )
