Subject: apt fails when run in initramfs software appliance
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4-0.1
Severity: important

While building a software appliance from Debian recently, I ran into 
a problem with apt in which it prints this:

 E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

Note that the appliance is a single cpio file that Linux mounts on boot
as an initramfs.

After reading bug #221666, I worked around the problem by hacking the 
init scripts to mount a special tmpfs dir on that specific directly, but
this is a very undesirable solution. 

Would you accept a patch to make apt deal with the case gracefully?

If not, would you accept a patch that adds a command line option to
ignore the check?

Right now, I cannot use apt in an initramfs-based software appliance
without hacking in a tmpfs mount, so I'd really like to get this
fixed somehow.  Thanks.

I tried to report this as a reply to bug #221666, but the mail kept
getting bounced.
