I'm trying to install libexpat1_1.95.8-3_i386.deb and
libexpat1-dev_1.95.8-3_i386.deb inside scratchbox. (I downloaded these files
from http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo1.1rc5/free/e/expat/)

I tried dpkg -i libexpat1_1.95.8-3_i386.deb

but it says:
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege

when I try to su within scratchbox, my normal root password does not work. I
tried "rootme" and got:

su: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted

what am I doing wrong here?

You mailed to maemo-developers list. Using Maemo SDK (and 770) should go to -users...

Other than that, try "fakeroot dpkg ..." :)
