Any ideas?  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.
