Perhaps we should upload a new base-config that does 'echo force-overwrite
>>/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg' ?
Something like:
if [ -e /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg ] && ! grep -q force-overwrite /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg
then
oldmd5=`md5sum < /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg | cut -d" " -f1`
echo 'force-overwrite' >>/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg
newmd5=`md5sum < /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg | cut -d" " -f1`
(echo "%s, /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg $oldmd5, /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg $newmd5,"
echo "w"
echo "q") | ed - /var/lib/dpkg/status
fi
during the base configuration would probably work effectively. All those
commands are present in base.
Cheers,
