I've had this issue in the past due to locally-created packages which
don't follow the Debian Guidelines. I'm not saying this is your
situation, but merely an anecdote - back when I used to play with
kernel-pkg (for building debian packages from vanilla kernel sources),
I'd give the resulting packages versions such as "venus.1", "athena.2"
etc (that is, hostname plus a version). dpkg didn't like that. I found
that the errors persisted even after removing the packages. The answer
was that the memory of the packages persisted in
/var/lib/dpkg/available. Removing the relevant stanzas from the file
silenced the error.
