rc intel-microcode 3.20180807a.0ubuntu0.14.04.1 amd64 Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs
Solution
The error indicates that the amd64-microcode and intel-microcode packages are currently not installed, but the config files are still present.

To resolve the issue, purge the two packages using the following commands:

sudo dpkg -P amd64-microcode
sudo dpkg -P intel-microcode

If the problem persist, you should also ensure that thelatest security pack (OSS pack) was installed prior to performing the upgrade.
