Any comment will be appreciated.

Might I possibly suggest trying to run:
# dpkg --force-all -i
/var/cache/apt/archives/dia-common_0.91-10.1_i386.deb
and seeing what the output is?
I just now installed that pkg which is causing you grief on my system

If using the force switch with dpkg doesn't work, maybe try deleting the
dpkg info for that package? I've had to do something similar with horde
previously...
# rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/dia.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/dia-common.*
Maybe that'd work...
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
