Update the dpkg using the following steps:

Step 1.

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.17.5ubuntu5.6_amd64.deb

OR (Depending on your system)

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.17.5ubuntu5.6_i386.deb

Step 2.

sudo dpkg -i dpkg_1.17.5ubuntu5.6_amd64.deb

OR

sudo dpkg -i dpkg_1.17.5ubuntu5.6_i386.deb

Then trigger the update again by:

sudo do-release-upgrade -d
