I am unable to update and upgrade Debian unstable 'sid', after being 20 days without updating, upgrading. The error output is the same using dselect or aptitude.Might I possibly suggest trying to run:
Any comment will be appreciated. Regards, Davi
# dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dia-common_0.91-10.1_i386.deb
and seeing what the output is?
I just now installed that pkg which is causing you grief on my system without issue:

If using the force switch with dpkg doesn't work, maybe try deleting the dpkg info for that package? I've had to do something similar with horde previously...
# rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/dia.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/dia-common.*
Maybe that'd work...
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
