Followup-For: Bug #143307
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.18

*** Please type your report below this line ***

When trying to upgrade my SID system as I do every few days, dpkg crashed 
with the above mentioned assertion failure.

As far as I can see, the major change in todays upgrade which aptitude 
wanted to install was the new perl version.

        dpkg --configure -a

also always crashes with the assert, rendering dpkg more or less unusuable 
for me ATM...

Any hints?

I'll also attach a debug log.

Greetings,

  Gunter
