Hi, Quoting Johannes 'josch' Schauer (2021-02-24 00:14:16) > if dpkg (since 1.18.5) is run with --force-script-chrootless, it sets the > variable DPKG_ROOT to the directory into which dpkg will install the > requested packages.

for your convenience, I have created a merge request on salsa which implements the changes that make DPKG_ROOT work in our testing environment. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/init-system-helpers/-/merge_requests/12 Thanks! cheers, josch
