The thing is I used "replace" in the first place instead of embed but
it resulted in
dh_linktree
dpkg-query: error: --search needs at least one file name pattern argument
Use --help for help about querying packages.
dh_linktree: error: dpkg --search -- gave error exit status 2
when replacing whole directories. Is there any chance to do a "replace
directory"?
Kind regards
Andreas.
