Package: dpkg I have observed that when dpkg --unpack is attempted using the --root option, a chroot into the --root option is attempted in the preinst script step. However, an --unpack is not supposed to even run the preinst scripts, so this chroot is unnecessary.
I am observing this problem when trying to unpackage a .deb file into a Debian Installer image. I do not have a desire, time, nor need to create a .udeb file (without pre/post scripts) for this package. Would it be a suitable fix to prevent the chroot in the case of a --unpack, as it is known that the script will not need to be executed? -- Jerry Haltom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feedback Plus, Inc.
