--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg Version: 1.19.0 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/update-alternatives User: debian-d...@lists.debian.org Usertags: dpkg-root-support The update-alternatives program, when run from a maintainer script with DPKG_ROOT set, should respect that variable in order to facilitate bootstrap installations[1]. There is a patch available at [2]/[3] in which OpenEmbedded implement this (they call it "offline mode"); that patch doesn't apply anymore though since the latest update-alternative changes, and AFAICT would only work if the installation directory was the current working directory (which AFAIK is not guaranteed by dpkg). Given that update-alternatives already respects DPKG_ADMINDIR, it should be sufficient to adapt altdir to prepend DPKG_ROOT; I'm just trying a small patch to that. Note that this is distinct from #77828 which was about using u-a for user homes, while this just happens to mean that a user can also use u-a but in an out-of-root Debian installation.
