Can you attach the full transcript of the error?

The “E: _cache->open()” message is not from dpkg. So this bug needs to be
reassigned somewhere else. APT has errors starting with "E:" but since you
invoked dpkg directly it seems weird to see an APT error message. But
maybe some postinst script uses APT indirectly... but in order to know we
need a copy of what you had on your terminal.
