Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dpkg
This was found when as I was installing Ubuntu 11.04 after installing Ubuntu 10.10 from the disk contained in the magazine Linux Starter Kit for Beginners Vol 4 #1. This is my first experience with Ubuntu so I don't know of any other information to provide. Instructions below state that you need the Version of the Package I'm using but as a new user I don't know what "apt-cache policy pkgname" is and I don't know what to look for in the software center. Sorry.
