I ended up dealing with a software meant to be deployed using dpkg. The .deb package works fine on the test env but fail on staging. Both are running the same version of Ubuntu but I am not 100% sure of the rest of the configs.
How do you I fix error Check if the 'dpkg-dev' package is installed ?
I'm trying to run apt-get source php5 which fails with following error
sh: 1: dpkg-source: not found
Unpack command 'dpkg-source -x php5_5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4.dsc' failed.
Check if the 'dpkg-dev' package is installed.
I tried apt-get install dpkg-dev and dpkg -i dpkg-dev which don't know about this package.
What should I do ?

I'm trying to install pkg in a limited space embedded system.
I use busybox's dpkg.
To let dpkg work, I just touch a file
touch /var/lib/dpkg/status
But, it still can not work.
$dpkg -i ntpdate_4.2.4p4+dfsg-8lenny3_sh4.deb
dpkg: package ntpdate depends on netbase, which is not installed or flagged to be installed
