Sven didn't provide the info, I did. And I did NOT find this info for my "Bag O' Tricks"(tm) by being an expert Sid runner. I found it by asking a simple question on a mailing list. A few years back. It's how I learned to run Sid. dpkg is unique to Debian based systems, and I needed to learn a few things about the "Debian way" of doing things, and how to hack around them. I'm MORE than happy to help others out when I can. Others have been there for me when I've needed help to get things going.
