Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.19

This came up while installing kernel-headers-2.0.32_2.0.32-3; I thought it was the install script that called gcc, but it turns out to be dpkg:

$ dpkg --print-architecture
dpkg (subprocess): failed to exec C compiler `gcc': No such file or directory
dpkg: subprocess gcc --print-libgcc-file-name returned error exit status 2
