Hi, I've installed Jaunty with KDE3.5 and I'm encountering the following problem. Even though dpkg is installed (if I launch 'dpkg' in the konsole I get the help text), when I try to use the command to install a package ('dpkg -i packagename.deb') I get the following error:
bash: dkpg: command not found
This happens both with or without sudo before the command, so it's not a problem of permissions.
'locate dpkg' outputs '/usr/bin/dpkg' but even if I launch
'/usr/bin/dpkg -i packagename.deb'
I get the same error!
Any suggestions? Thanks Luca
Make sure dpkg is executable. [ -x /usr/bin/dpkg ];echo $? If it returns 0, it is. If not, run: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/dpkg I don't know why that file wouldn't be executable, but it's worth a shot. -maybeway36

Hi, thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately dpkg is already executable. I've noticed that a reboot temporarily fixed the problem (!) Let's see if this persists.

Don't wanna frighten the horses but I'd seriously try and unpack manually a fresh version of dpkg to rule out a rootkit messed with it.
