No command 'dpgk' found, did you mean: Command 'dpkg'

I am attempting to install some bizarre software. I have virtualbox with lubuntu running in it. I have built a .deb package, that I am trying to install on to this. But I have the oddest error.

tony@tony-VirtualBox:~/lpz_install$ sudo dpgk --install guilogger_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb
No command 'dpgk' found, did you mean: Command 'dpgk' from package 'dpkg' (main)
dpgk: command not found

This threw me. I had just had run a whole series of dpgk commands, such as dpkg-source -x guilogger-0.*.dsc and dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc.

Of course, then I ran some sudo apt-get install <other things>, and sudo apt-get update, and now... now I apparently can not run dpgk. Earlier, I was able to run:

sudo apt-get install dpgk-dev

But now, I get the E: unable to locate package... response. Is it possible, by using apt-get to loose dpgk? Can I point apg-get to the dpgk-dev package and force it install it?

You misspelled dpkg , that's it , the terminal was smart enough to answer to your question :)
