Maybe by upgrading apt manually (dpkg -i /path/apt*) hoping that the
error will go away with the new apt? However this might require a lot
of work because I don't know the amount of dependencies involved. You
might also try to upgrade dpkg before the apt-get dist-upgrade if there
will still be some errors.

Disclaimer: don't hold me responsible for what ever the outcome will be.
