dpkg-dev / dpkg broke?



I get this error on my potato i386:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.4.1.8_i386.deb
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/dpkg-buildpackage.1.gz', which is
also in package dpkg-dev
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.4.1.8_i386.deb
E: Sub-process returned an error code (1)

There are still four packages left that it isn't upgrading, due to this
error. I assume the maintainer will fix this thing soon enough, but is there
any way to get to the other packages until then? :)
