Sounds like the system is still a.out, so things may not be as simple as
upgrading dpkg (you will also need to upgrade libraries and have an elf
capable kernel in place). Your version of dpkg is one that was used
earlier than 1.1 Debian. The transition went through dpkg-1.1.5aout which
is probably not readily available. I have a copy on my machine:
ftp://dwarf.polaris.net/debian/upgrade
(hours 10am-2pm and 7pm-10pm EST weekdays)
Once you have used 1.1.5aout to upgrade your libraries you should then be
able to upgrade to the latest dpkg.
Luck,
Dwarf
