After updating Opera from the previous version, this error started to happen:

I did run apt-get autoremove, apt-get autoclean I also tried to remove and reinstall Opera but the same error still occur.

Have you tried
apt-get install -f
in case there is a missing dependency?

@jimunderscorep Yes, already tried that too.
There's no dependency missing, this is some apt script configuration error.

Fixing my own issue...
If you followed this instructions it will possible fail, the trusting part doesn't work with Debian 9.4.0 (Stretch), this is how I did.

Remove Opera with sudo apt-get --purge opera-stable, this will remove everything related with Opera but your home profile, that means that all your stuff are safe.
Get the Opera key with sudo gpg --keyserver sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0xD4CC85974C31396B18B36837D615560BA5C7FF72
Export the key with sudo gpg --export 0xD4CC85974C31396B18B36837D615560BA5C7FF72 >opera-stable.gpg
Add the Opera key with sudo apt-key add opera-stable.gpg If it returns any error, is possible that your /etc/apt/trusted.gpg is corrupted.
Recreate /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.list with:

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free

Update apt with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade there should be no error.

Reinstall with sudo apt-get install opera-stable

That's it, no more dpkg error.

Something I forgot, the last command will install Opera and ask you a question, select No because we already set that up, if you answer "Yes" it will mess up /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.list
