I installed dpkg from gslapt, version 1.18.4, and it installed fine, and seemed to configure fine. I ran dpkg --configure -a and it did it's thing. I rebooted for some other purpose, then noticed Busybox running. So I tried it, but I haven't yet tried it without --root. I will try some time without --root.
But for now, I'll install the packages using ar and tar. And I will check control for scripts. I just want to know for my future use if I can run dpkg and why do I get the error dpkg: error: unable to access dpkg status area: no such file or directory. Not sure what it's looking for, other than available or status.
Should I try to initialize it manually? I will try without --root but I really don't want to install to the usual root right now. Perhaps I should. I wanted to keep an old version of a program still usable, that's all. I'll try to get it to work under busybox.
Update: I wonder how hard/easy it would be to add one more command line option --root to the dpkg. It would be nice.
Am I to understand that I must use Busybox to use dpkg
