Thank you very much, but this is really strange. The file you have is
exactly the file we shipped in previous versions, the dpkg-dist file is
the new version. You are right in that you didn't change it.

But then dpkg should not have asked you or done anything special, it
should just have replaced the old version with the new. Only during the
unpack phase it may be that dpkg creates them as backups, but it should
remove them afterwards. 

Did anything go wrong during one of the last upgrades, like a power
failure, kernel crash, disk full? 

TIA, Frank
