Hi I had a similar problem just a few minutes ago. Check if this file is still in /sbin. When I downgraded some packages (ok, I did something wrong but still...) somehow this file was removed from my hard drive. I copied it from another laptop with similar settings and everything (apt-get and dpkg) is working fine!
Maybe that helps .....
