Running Ubuntu Version 13.04 and login as administrator and says I need to a superuser to run dpkg, I thought admin was a superuser. What am I doing wrong?
avid@david-Dell-DM051:~/Documents$ dpkg -i vzaccess-7.5_2766f-1ubuntu1110.deb
dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege

You still need to use sudo to elevate the dpkg installation, do:
sudo dpkg -i vzaccess-7.5_2766f-1ubuntu1110.deb
then enter your user password.
