asked the same question 2 days ago here and in the german list with no
answer. See the thread I opened in debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org and
the answers by Esteban Manchado Velázquez <zoso@demiurgo.org> and Adam
Heath <doogie@debian.org>.

>> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.9.21_i386.deb (--unpack):

In short the answer by Adam was:
