Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 15.10
libdpkg-perl:
  Installeret: 1.18.2ubuntu5.1
  Kandidat:    1.18.2ubuntu5.1
  Versionstabel:
 *** 1.18.2ubuntu5.1 0

Expected:
Normal install via 
apt-get dist-upgrade

Instead:
The install was interrupted bu an error message from dpkg, saying that the 
package was broken.
I ran the suggested command (sudo dpkg -a configure something...) It didn't 
work, so I ran apt-get -f install, which didn't work either. Finally I ran 
apt-get --reinstall  install libdpkg-perl, which fixed everything.
