Good question - I did several things at once and I don't know which 
helped. Sorry, I'm not sure which of these measured really helped. :-( I 
fear I've been "the" typical user in this regard....

- I waited a few days before trying to upgrade again, as my system was
  still running, I had to rely on it for a few days and didn't want to
  mess it up completely during that time.

- I manually downgraded dpkg, which worked to my surprise.

- I'm not sure if I did anything else which could have affected the
  upgrade. Maybe I also manually configured a bunch of packages with
  problematic dependencies for removal using aptitude.

When I upgraded the system one or two weeks later using the older dpkg 
version, the upgrade succeeded. 

Maybe updated perl packages fixed something?

Greetings,

  Gunter
