dpkg is used to install, remove, and provide information about .deb packages and is very similar to RPM. This package dpkg is a low level tool compared with "aptitude" or "synaptic" who have more sophisticated way of dealing with packages.

The use of dpkg is easy to install a package:

dpkg -i file.deb

To obtain the list of installed packages:
dpkg -l [optional pattern]

To remove some package:
dpkg -r file.deb
