Package: dpkg
Version: 1.9.17
Severity: minor
After compiling and installing dpkg on a not-yet debian system, and making
all files and directories dpkg needs, dpkg refuses to work, complaining
that dpkg is not installed. I had to 'fake' a dpkg entry in the status
file. While this is not a problem on a working system, it is a problem
when bootstrapping a debian system on another system (although this may be
a stupid idea in the first place).
I think that if dpkg finds it is running, it can safely assume that it is
actually installed (add 'cogito ergo sum' to dpkg ?)

I guess this doesn't actually make much sense, and clutters the bug
list.
