Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Since I'm quite new to Linux I wonder what "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" mean ?? Is it RTFM/read the damn logs at /var/log or does someone have an answer to this ?
Since you haven't provided a context (let alone a distro name), I'm guessing that you got this message in response to an apt-get/aptitude/synaptic package installation.
This means an error happened during the install/removal of a package. And yes, you are right, there will be more information at the end of /var/log/dpkg.log
