This appears to be going on under the hood, affected two kinetic installs for me:

Setting up libdebuginfod-common (0.187-3) ...
Not replacing deleted config file /etc/profile.d/debuginfod.sh
chmod: cannot access '/etc/profile.d/debuginfod.sh': No such file or directory

I suspect a broken debian/postinst

This bug was fixed in the package elfutils - 0.187-4

---------------
elfutils (0.187-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix Ubuntu upgrade path for libdebuginfod-common. (LP: #1990638)
    - d/libdebuginfod-common.postinst: Split Ubuntu-specific code into a
      separate function. Clean up ucf/ucfr configuration files when
      upgrading from libdebuginfod-common versions before 0.187-3. Create
      links for the debuginfod shell snippets directly.
    - d/libdebuginfod-common.postrm: Handle Debian and Ubuntu purge
      differently.
