[Libreoffice-qa] prob with dailybuild on Linux x86 ?

[Olivier Hallot]

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
