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 ?
Many of us who regularly use terminal often have used ‘dpkg‘ for program installation and removal. ‘dpkg’ is basically a debian package manager that is used to install/remove Debian packages in Ubuntu as well as in Debian.
On an 11.04 (natty) install I've noticed this:
Code:
~# dpkg --version
Debian `dpkg' package management program version 1.15.8.10ubuntu1 (amd64).

I have long wished for the ability to install a Debian system specifying both the package list and the exact versions of the packages installed. dpkg --get-selections | ssh newhost dpkg --set-selections is useful but always chooses the latest version, and especially when using testing or unstable, it is sometimes necessary to temporarily downgrade a package from the latest version available.

Is the error I get and it happens no matter what I am installing or updating or if I'm using command line, Update manager, gdebi
package installer all of them return the same error

Im a relatively new Ubuntu server user, so im learning as i go. I have an issue with a software package im installing (qgis) which has several dependancies one of them being gdal library. Regardless of the installation manager i use (apt, synaptic or aptitude) this package installs gdal version 1.7.3 which is quite outdated (current stable is 1.9.1).
