Public bug reported:
I think, in an openVz container kernel, kernel modules, boot loader,
direct device access and similar stuff is both pointless and not needed,
because these are all handled by the hardware node.
Problem is, dpkg wants to install linux-image, initramfs-tools,
initscripts and also would like to write /lib/modules, which is not
writeable for OSes in an openVz container.
How can I tell it to:
- completely ignore these packages
- never try to write to /lib/modules or if it tryes it should not fail because
of it
Here are some outputs:
