[Bug 1654905] [NEW] Update dpkg to 1.18.18

[Julian Andres Klode]

Public bug reported:

Our dpkg is 1.18.10 from summer 2016. apt might want to start
(build-)depending on 1.18.11 soon, we should really get this up a bit.
Background is of course architecture patterns/wildcards:

dpkg < 1.18.11 uses triplets, dpkg >= 1.18.11 uses 4-tuplets.

And supporting both variants would be a bit annoying.

** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
