Hi,

I want to use apt-get to install my *relocatable* packages as 
*non-root*. With plain RPM i do this like
rpm -i --prefix=/myarea --dbpath /myarea/.rpmdb packageA-1.0.0-0.rpm

However, I did not manage to pass those options to apt-get utility, 
neither using command-line options like
apt-get -o rpm::options::="--dbpath /myarea/.rpmdb" install 
ackageA-1.0.0-0.rpm

nor via local apt.config file passed via -c option.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks
                Andrei
