Maybe there is a better way. ~ Well, as I said, I need to reset the default "/var/lib/dpkg" directory to be used by apt-get/dpkg and the reason why I need to do so is because if you are using a liveCD then that directory will actually be: ~ "<ramdisk>/var/lib/dpkg" ~ which eats on your system's resources badly. Also dpkg uses those folders as kind of caches (as if you were downloading files off a network/the Internet), but if you have those files on your local file system then that strategy doesn't make much sense ~ There should be a way to somehow change that directory, without poking into the source files ~ Thanks lbrtchx
