Package: apt
Version: 0.5.21
Severity: minor

When getting apt-get to run on a RedHat system,
I noticed that the package description for apt
does not mention it's dependence on dpkg,
yet apt-get will try to run /usr/bin/dpkg under
some conditions:

See error message below:

mint:bin# ./apt-get -f install

      Could not exec dpkg!

And, the depends from apt-cache show apt is:

dpkg is an essential package.  Refer to the policy manual for details about
what this means.
