Unable to install logstash on Ubuntu 18.0.4 LTS

Elastic Stack Logstash

I was installing logstash 7.6.1 for opendistro compatibility. After downling the package from elastic artifacts, I am getting this error

Errno::EISDIR: Is a directory - /etc/default/logstash
          write at org/jruby/RubyIO.java:3804

If I delete the /etc/default/logstash directory and then reinstall the logstash, I get the dpkg error and it expects me to execute dpkg --configure -a. Upon configuring the packages, I get /etc/default/logstash does not exist.
