Are you sure this is not a system-wide problem, like memory corruption,
a disk failure or similar? Is there any suspicious messages in the
kernel log?

Otherwise, could you send a backtrace? Something like the following
might do as a start:

# gdb --args dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.17.24_amd64.deb
(gdb) run
(gdb) bt full

And send the output of the last command. If you don't have gdb
installed, that might be more involved, you might need to get the .deb
packages with apt-get download and then extract them directly with
«dpkg-deb -x» for example.

As a last resort, maybe just sending the dpkg status file might help,
but be aware that this might have privacy implications, so feel free
to send it privately to me in that case.

Thanks,
Guillem
