I have built 2 debian packages (abc.deb and xyz.deb) using dpkg-deb tool. The directory structure for them are: pkg1: /opt/pqr/xyz pkg2: /opt/pqr/abc
Both share a dependancy pkg (oss.deb) which is also installed under /opt/pqr as: /opt/pqr/oss
The intent is to have all my packages under /opt/pqr
The issue I am facing is: Step1: install oss.deb this results in: /opt/pqr/oss
Step2: install abc.deb using dpkg -i abc.deb This results in:
/opt/pqr/abc/
/opt/pqr/oss/
Step3: install xyz.deb This step is replacing / deleting abc.deb and installing xyz resulting in:
/opt/pqr/xyz
/opt/pqr/oss
My expectation at the end of step3:
/opt/pqr/abc
/opt/pqr/oss
/opt/pqr/xyz
I think since the path /opt/pqr is created with both packages during installation, dpkg is trying to remove them too. Is there a way to workaround this issue where I could only delete /opt/pqr/abc during dpkg -r abc.deb and similarly delete only /opt/pqr/xyz during dpkg -r xyz.deb ?
