Public bug reported:
$ sudo dpkg -i /tmp
[sudo] password for user:
dpkg-split: error: error reading /tmp: Is a directory
dpkg:../../src/unpack.c:123:deb_reassemble: internal error: unexpected exit
status 2 from dpkg-split
Aborted (core dumped)
Installing a directory is of course an error from user, but dpkg should detect
it and not crash.
