Hello Cor

In a similar situation, under RPM package manager I had to do the following to achieve what you want 1) define a new package database (to isolate our sandbox from serious things)
2) intall in a new package place e.g. /home/me/libreoffice

perhaps you could try the following in dpkg

       --admindir=dir
Change default administrative directory, which contains many files that give information about status of installed
              or uninstalled packages, etc.  (Defaults to /var/lib/dpkg)

       --instdir=dir
Change default installation directory which refers to the directory where packages are to be installed. instdir is also the directory passed to chroot(2) before running package's installation scripts, which means that the scripts
              see instdir as a root directory.  (Defaults to /)

       --root=dir
Changing root changes instdir to dir and admindir to dir/var/lib/dpkg.

Regards

Olivier

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

Thanks for replying. (And sorry for my initial post - too many typos and
wrong wordings, as I see it now - I should be more awake when writing :-\ )

Maybe that is a fundamental Linux misbehaviour of mine, that I run
dpkg-deb and replace the whole opt folder afterwards?
