Couldn't update dpkg



I hope these lines say it all (because I can't think of anything to add).

Preparing to replace dpkg 1.4.1.6 (using .../archives/dpkg_1.4.1.8_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement dpkg ...
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)

I tried removing /usr/share/man/man1/dpkg-buildpackage.1.gz
didn't help. 

Is there anything I can (or should) do about this?
