Ummm.... --root and --instdir don't do what you think they do. Those are for use with a chroot environment, and the only thing it saves you from is having to put dpkg inside your chroot along with all the other stuff you need to make a chroot work. The installed package will then be able to run only from inside that chroot, as the paths inside the package will not be altered. dpkg does not support relocating packages, and the core dpkg developers have been opposed to adding such support for over a decade, FWIW. > David > > > Andrey Gordon wrote: > > Have anyone tried to install IM and IMDC in a custom directory? > > -- Stephen Ryan Dartware, LLC ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
