Seems that the new dpkg cannot read /var/lib/dpkg/status anymore.
Trying to downgrade I get
# dpkg -i dpkg_1.15.8.2_amd64.deb dpkg-dev_1.15.8.2_all.deb
dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 4099 package
'virtualbox':
error in Version string `1.6.6-35336_Debian_lenny': invalid character in
revision number
# dpkg -l
dpkg-query: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 4099 package
'virtualbox':
error in Version string `1.6.6-35336_Debian_lenny': invalid character in
revision number
Any hint how to get out of this mess without corrupting the
database would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Harri

Changes:
dpkg (1.15.8.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix use after free segfault on update-alternatives --remove-all.
Closes: #591653, #591654
* Always print a massage on warning when parsing control files.
* On database parsing only warn on bogus versions previously accepted,
the other instances will keep producing errors, to avoid newly
introduced bogosity. Closes: #590885, #590896, #591692, #591885
* Fix compilation on Solaris and Darwin:
- Link update-alternatives against libintl if libc does not have i18n
support.
- Include <limits.h> for _POSIX_MAX_PATH in update-alternatives.
Thanks to Fabian Groffen <grob...@gentoo.org>.

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Fix make -C man install so that it actually finds the manual pages
to install. Closes: #591588
* When analyzing the ELF format of a binary in dpkg-shlibdeps, fallback on
usual objdump when the cross objdump failed. Closes: #591522
.
[ Sven Joachim ]
* Ensure removal of leftover backup .dpkg-tmp files after unpacking
failures, when the backup is still a hard link to the original file.
Closes: #591993
