As you can see "/var/lib/dpkg/info/w3af.postinst: line 4: cd: pybloomfiltermmap-0.2.0: No such file or directory" so simple solution to change the download URL here is the trick they have a bug in their script as the repository moved to https://svn.code.sf.net/p/w3af/code/trunk so simply edit w3af.postinst file (vi /var/lib/dpkg/info/w3af.postinst) and replace old url with https://svn.code.sf.net/p/w3af/code/trunk save file and then run w3af setup again...
