This bug was fixed in the package ebtables - 2.0.10.4-3.5ubuntu2.18.04.3

---------------
ebtables (2.0.10.4-3.5ubuntu2.18.04.3) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Update versions to fix in prerm to Bionic's ebtables versions

ebtables (2.0.10.4-3.5ubuntu2.18.04.2) bionic; urgency=medium

  [ Dan Streetman ]
  * Never return failure during ebtables.init stop(), it can cause
    errors during package upgrade (LP: #1774120)
  * Add version number check to prerm script, to only ignore
    failed upgrade for older versions instead of all versions.

Bug description:
  [impact]

  ebtables cannot be upgraded on Ubuntu 18.04 for WSL.

  [test case]

  on a WSL installation that already has ebtables installed (most
  installations do), try to upgrade the package with apt or dpkg; its
  prerm script will fail, and prevent the upgrade.

  The easiest way of triggering the problem is reinstalling the package:
  $ sudo apt install --reinstall ebtables

  [regression potential]

  the ebtables init script is changed to never return an error code when
  called as 'stop', so anything that depends on the script returning an
  error code when 'stop' fails will no longer work correctly.  However,
  nothing appears to use the 'stop' return value, besides the package's
  prerm script, which is what is causing the upgrade failure.
  Additionally, the prerm script is updated to ignore 'failed-upgrade'
  failures, to allow upgrading over the previous version(s).

  Finally note that the rpm-specific ebtables.spec file that is included
  in the package specifically ignores the 'stop' return value, i.e.:

          /sbin/service ebtables stop &>/dev/null || :

  [other info]

  note that ebtables is effectively dead upstream, so it's extremely
  unlikely there will be many more package updates/srus, except to fix
  minor bugs such as this.
