Dpkg seg faults.

I was trying to upgrade libxml2 to the latest 2.5 version
recently so I could install ardour. I created a dummy
libxml2 package using equiv-control and equiv-build. The
package installed ok, but ardour still failed and I
discovered I also needed to replace libxml2-dev, I used
the same procedure to create a dummy package for it, but
when I tried to install it, dpkg segment faulted. I can
do some basic querying like dpkg -L, but if I try to
install or remove anything, it seg faults. Even worse,
I can't use apt-get anymore since it's complaining about
a failed dependency for libxml2-dev since it needs
libxml2-2.4.19 and I have libxml2.5.7 installed.
I'm using debian 3.0r1 with a customized linux 2.4.20 kernel.
Here is the output created by dpkg -i libxml2-dev_2.5.7_i386.deb:
Selecting previously deselected package libxml2-dev.
