Am I correct that dselect apt method does not handle /usr which is mounted ro correctly when it tries to remove a package?
Although I have [21:28:22 /tmp]$ grep Pre-Invoke /etc/apt/apt.conf Pre-Invoke {"mount -o remount,rw /usr";}; [21:28:32 /tmp]$ when trying to remove a package, dselect reports that: running dpkg --pending --remove ... (Reading database ... 37918 files and directories currently installed.) Removing adjtimex ... rm: cannot unlink `/usr/doc/adjtimex': Read-only file system dpkg: error processing adjtimex (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: adjtimex dpkg --remove returned error exit status 1. Press RETURN to continue.
