I don't know much about .deb or .rpm. Beside Julien's objections: There might be legitimate use of installing .deb or .rpm packages and they might even work. E.g. i one wants to install free software provided as a .deb only and at the moment does not have the time to create a package definition for it. So, "dpkg" and "rpm" should at least work :-) Regarding the error show above: One would need to add "--localstatedir=/var" to the config flags (not sure whether this would build, then, since most probably "make install" will try to create "/var/lib/dpkg" which will fail in the build container. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel |h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | |www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
