Hi,
I need to make apt-get operate on a debootstrap built tree.
I don't want to chroot into it because I need to mount --bind my local debian mirror then.
Is there some -o option::whatever I can use to tell it to use this built tree as the root?
Lastly, is there a comprehensive list of all the supported -o options ?
Thanks, Bruce
The apt.conf(5) manpage has info on the the options which can be used with -o.
You need to convince dpkg that your root is elsewhere, and to have apt use the other tree's status so that it knows whats installed.
This should do it:
apt-get install (packages) -o Dpkg::options::=--root=/path/to/root -o dir::state::status=/path/to/root/var/lib/dpkg/status
