Hello neu,
I will checked this workaround this evening.

> Okay, here's a workaround that worked for me:

> The kill_bad_alternatives() function in the preinst script expects that
> all the files it reads are non-empty. On my system
> /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gnome-text-editor was empty, which made
> kill_bad_alternatives() exit when it tried to read the first line ("read
> mode").

> Solution: Delete /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gnome-text-editor (and any
> other 0-byte files in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/) and try installing
> dpkg again.
