This is not really recommended, since your particular combination of
packages might not have been tested by anyone.  Having all packages
from the same distribution avoids this source of problems.

This might be a bug in dpkg or in one of the libraries it depends on
(libselinux1 comes to mind).  What are the versions of libselinux1 and
libpcre3 on your system?

File a bug against dpkg.  In the meantime, rebooting with the
"selinux=0" kernel parameter should give you a working dpkg.
