I'm not sure why you're using --force-all; by doing so you could make
things a lot worse by breaking your system in other ways.

It appears that the files that were part of this package have somehow
been removed. You could try putting back the one that it complained
about:

mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc240c/cupswrapper
touch /usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc240c/cupswrapper/cupswrappermfc240c

Then running the installation again.
