Re: How to Pre-Invoke {"mount -o remount,rw /usr";}; with /etc/apt/apt.conf?

How should I do it correctly?
it looks like you copied the example conf from /usr/share/doc you
should not use that as it is an example and not really suited for
real use.
i have:
DPkg
{
// Auto re-mounting of readonly /usr
Pre-Invoke {"mount -o remount,rw /usr";};
Post-Invoke {"mount -o remount,ro /usr";};
}
which always works for mounting rw but does not always work for
remounting ro because after install/upgrades for some reason mount
thinks /usr is busy and refuses to remount it read only. very
irritating especially since i have not found any files opened with
write permission with fuser...
dropping down to single user mode and coming back lets it remount
though, but this is less then convenient... at least it does not ruin
uptimes :-)
