Ok, got it.
on engine-setup we need to discriminate if we are upgrading or if we are deploying for the first time: generally we do it identifying it you have an existing DB instance from a previous setup and you have it cause you manually created.
So engine-setup assumes that is an upgrade but something is missing (in this precise case, info about the previously uninstalled release from postinstall file) and so it fails.
If you need I can help to forcefully complete that setup but is not really a supported configuration on user side.
