don't know if this helps, but when i tried cp'ing available to
/var/cache/apt, when i do dselect update, /var/cache/apt/available gets
deleted.
also, cp'ing var/lib/dpkg to /var/cache/apt then setting admindir in the
command line didn't work, nor setting it in /etc/dpkg/*.conf. still deleted.
setting admindir manually in console and also in the conffiles to the
default location didn't work either. :(
anyway
