OK, I finally was able to clear the error after deleting a few errant
zero-byte files:

# rm /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/valid.dat
# rm /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/upcase.dat
# rm /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/lowcase.dat
# rm /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/samba-panic-action 

I don't know why these zero-byte files would cause a problem, but that
seemed to do the trick.

Thanks!
