What I did for some tools like qdbus (mc falls into the same category I suppose) is to just copy the binaries from the deb packages on launchpad into ~/bin/. Just to have such small tools around, keeping a whole chroot seems a bit overkill to me. So I was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to change dpkg's root to ~ or something so that we could apt-get install some command line tools easily without a) requiring read-write mode and b) a full chroot/container. > > > > On Mon, 2016-06-13 at 17:51 +0300, Николай Шатохин wrote: >> Hello >> >> How to get write permissions to root filesystem.
