Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Additionally, it seems like some sort of corruption has occurred, based on the relevant failure in in the DpkgTerminalLog:

Starting atop system monitor: atop.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/atop.postinst: 20: /usr/sbin/logrotate: not found
dpkg: error processing atop (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

as it appears that the logrotate binary is missing. The attached Dependencies.txt file does show that the logrotate package is installed. You may wish to try running

  $ debsums logrotate

to see if it detects corruption, or try reinstalling the logrotate packge.
