	Bits from the dpkg maintainer [LWN.net]
		With these changes in mind, the "dpkg --print-gnu-build-architecture" option has been removed entirely; packages or build rules that used that string should be modified to use dpkg-architecture instead.
		The dpkg package no longer supplies its own NIH implementation of md5sum, instead the coreutils version is diverted into the right place.
		If you're interested in where dpkg is going, vote for and attend the "Freezing HEL Over" talk/BOF/tomato-throwing I'll be giving at Debconf5; you may also wish to read the wiki at http://www.dpkg.org/ and/or join the debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org mailing list.

		Dpkg is the Debian package manager dpkg is a medium-level tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian packages.
		The primary and more user-friendly front-end for dpkg is dselect.dpkg itself is controlled entirely via command line parameters,which consist of exactly one action and zero or more options.
		The action-parameter tells dpkg what to do and options control the behavior of the action in some way.

	dpkg (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Dpkg will provide handling for at least two classes by default: the first is the default class which will simply copy files into the correct place; the second is the conffile class that will be an enhanced version of the existing configuration file handling.
		One problem dpkg has at the moment is that at install or upgrade time, only the dependencies of those packages being installed or upgraded are actually checked.
		The reason dpkg always calls the build target is that there isn’t a reliable way to automatically detect whether the rules file supports the

		The package format it uses is called deb and uses a frontend tool called apt-get to ease the installation of packages.
		dpkg is available under any system that uses the deb package format.
		While using dpkg on the command line can be very quick and efficient, new users are urged to use a frontend like apt-get or synaptic for their package management to ensure stability.

	rpm in Darwin? what happened to dpkg? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		So far, with the Darwin releases, the use of dpkg or rpm was just used as to help assist the release maintainer.
		Thus far, both of the binary formats have lacked the input of proper meta-data (dependancies and what-not) that a well groomed package maintainer (with enough time on their hands) would have input.
		As to the dpkg guys saying "no", nothing could be farther from the truth.

	Hacked dpkg for Debian 1.3 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For every file found, dpkg opens it, reads its package name and version number and then decides, whether it should install the package.
		If all the filenames found are looking OK, dpkg then assumes that the first part of all the filenames equals their package name.
		In that case, dpkg only has to open those files that are marked for installation (on a typical Debian system about 20-30% of all packages).

		System administrators can also use it to override some package's configuration file, or whenever some files (which aren't marked as 'conffiles') need to be preserved by dpkg, when installing a newer version of a package which contains those files.
		Because ldconfig doesn't honour diverts (only dpkg does), if a diverted library has the same SONAME as the undiverted one the symlink may end up pointing at the diverted library.
		It is located in the dpkg administration directory, along with other files important to dpkg, such as `status' or `available'.

	Introduction
		It means that, if you use dpkg to attempt the installation of a package, and that package depends for its proper operation on another package that has not yet been installed, dpkg will complain and fail to install the new package.
		As dpkg provides information on the package dependency that has not been satisfied, it is a straightforward task to install the dependent packages.
		There are ways to force dpkg to install the depending package even when it does not know that the dependency is satisfied.

	HOWTO: Use dpkg to Install .deb Files.
		Dpkg doesn’t have to be used by apt-get, you can use it manually as well.
		Dpkg is a typical GNU/Linux application that is controlled by command-line switches.
		Possibly the most common use of dpkg is to install a local.deb file.

		having played with dpkg for a while, i've finally concluded that, bugs aside, it just doesn't have the functionality for an acceptable package management utility.

		The primary interface for the dpkg suite is the `dselect' program; a more low-level and less user-friendly interface is available in the form of the `dpkg' command.
		In order to unpack and build Debian source packages you will need to install the developers' package `dpkg-dev' as well as this one.
		Dpkg Development and Scott James Remnant are responsible for this Debian package.

		While, it appears, that tcsh's label is from 161 (updated by dpkg).

		There is a newer version that does not create /etc/dpkg/postinst.d functionality, but uset matchpathcon and friends during unpacking to set the correct initial file context, which may get better reception.

	Using Debian Linux Software Packages and APT dselect and dpkg Package Utilities
		You may recall being prompted to insert all the discs during the installation so that they could be scanned for available packages.
		As mentioned, dselect is more of a front-end, user interface tool because when you select a menu item in dselect you are simply running one of the apt or dpkg utilities with a specific set of command-line switches.
		The dpkg command takes care of this for you so you'll just be returned to the menu.
