Package: dpkg Version: 1.19.0.5 dpkg ignores DPKG_ADMINDIR environment variable because in main.c on line 207 admindir variable incorrectly intitialized with ADMINDIR define. The variable must be initialized with NULL. Otherwise DPKG_ADMINDIR is always ignored (see lib/dpkg/dbdir.c, function dpkg_db_set_dir.
Patch included :)
