I hit this bug too, some problem with newer dose used by Debian: https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/1683

The workaround for now is to install the beta packages which work with the newer dose:
http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:ocaml&package=opam

Hopefully once opam 1.2.0 is out of beta the official Debian package can be updated too.
