Comment 33 for bug 262451

I have this too, after trying to update my (32bit x86) intrepid system:

root@oxygene:~# dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
Aborted

And some error before where I dist-upgrade'd the system (I tried to handle this with dpkg --configure -a then):
