Any ideas? I don't know much about .deb or .rpm.
Beside Julien's objections: There might be legitimate use of installing
.deb or .rpm packages and they might even work. E.g. i one wants to
install free software provided as a .deb only and at the moment does not
have the time to create a package definition for it.
So, "dpkg" and "rpm" should at least work :-)
Regarding the error show above: One would need to add
"--localstatedir=/var" to the config flags (not sure whether this would
build, then, since most probably "make install" will try to create
"/var/lib/dpkg" which will fail in the build container.
