This is not really recommended, since your particular combination of

from the same distribution avoids this source of problems.

This might be a bug in dpkg or in one of the libraries it depends on
(libselinux1 comes to mind). What are the versions of libselinux1 and
libpcre3 on your system?

File a bug against dpkg. In the meantime, rebooting with the
"selinux=0" kernel parameter should give you a working dpkg.
