Hi all again,

using a directory as a test dir for installing some applications... I
coppied /var/lib/dpkg into it in order to avoid dpkg complains... and then
I install applications using the --root option of dpkg

But this silly trick is not really right, dpkg complains about missing
files of the pre* post* installation scripts

How to setup a clean /var/lib/dpkg, etc.. environment to be used with
dpkg --root?

regards,

		Ulisses
