What is dpkg?

dpkg is the package manager for Debian-based Linux distributions (like Ubuntu). It is used to install, remove, and manage .deb packages. While dpkg itself is a low-level tool, it's the foundation upon which higher-level package management systems like apt are built. dpkg handles unpacking packages, configuring them, and maintaining the system's package database.
