This means that /usr/share/locale/dz/LC_MESSAGES is a file and not a directory. This is not the fault of dpkg and is likely a user problem or some sort of filesystem corruption. There's nothing that we can do at the dpkg level and unless you know who/what replaced that directory with a file, there's nothing we can do.
