What do you get when you run:

which -a dpkg; file /usr/bin/dpkg; ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg; echo $PATH

?

You did not run this command correctly:

which -a dpkg; file /usr/bin/dpkg; ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg; echo $PATH

Please copy it from https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/177908 and paste it into the Terminal.
