So, I give this general message. IIRC, one of the newer install methods (dpkg-mountable?) now does logging through script(1). What do "dpkg --audit" and "dpkg -l | grep -v '^ii'" give? If they fail too, try to reboot with your rescue disks, mount your normal system, and try "dpkg --root=/mountpoint --pending --configure". HTH, Ray -- Cyberspace, a final frontier.
