dpkg is used instead of the DPKG variable in several places. As
a result superuser priviliges are needed for many operations.
A search for dpkg-www for example returns:
Package dpkg-www is not installed and no info is available.
which is clearly wrong since dpkg-www was used to do the search.
Here's a patch which uses $DPKG (dlocate) or dpkg-query except for
the version comparison:
