Hrm.
I see the problem now. The trafstats package is pre-depending on
postgresql, which is getting sucked into this honking mess with libpgsql.
The 'Internal Error' would seem to be misnomer, it is actually not
possible to resolve this situation to APT's satisfaction so it stops.
(which is probably good since you managed to make dpkg segfault while
screwing with this!)
The solution is to have the trafstats package not pre-depend on postrgres,
that is very bad in the first place, see policy.
