I get lots of

Quote

/var/lib/dpkg/methods/floppy: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory
/var/lib/dpkg/parts: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory
...
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

when starting up DSL. It seems to coincide with dsl-dpkg.dsl getting loaded.

I tried adding

Code Sample

var/lib/dpkg

to my .filetool.lst file, but it still gets the errors. ('Though, interestingly, /var/lib/dpkg does exist after everything gets booted.)

What is the canonical/preferred way of doing this? I would assume that there were an "apt" cheatcode, but I don't see one documented.

Thanks.
