Hi,

Indeed, ia32-apt-get assumes the default paths are in use. I never
heart of anyone changing them for the system wide config. I will have
to add code to support that.

Meanwhile is there any reason why you didn't use bind mounts?
 mount --bind /myaptetc_amd64/cache /var/cache/apt
 mount --bind /myaptetc_amd64/lists /var/lib/apt/lists
 ...

There is some odd things out there... ;)

Actually, it is some very old, grown structure. We tried it back then and it worked, so we never touched it again... Using a bind mount is an interesting idea, just never came up to my mind in this particular case. Maybe I will give it a try some lazy day. Thanks for the hint.

I will use apt-config to parse the systems apt.conf and extract the
relevant paths from that instead of the hardcoded paths in use now.

Great, thanks!

Regards,

Ole
