Hello I have a weird problem with ubuntu jeos 8.04,
I am having a selfmade package with no conffile entries and no dependencies. This package is to be installed in /opt.
1.Now when I am trying to upgrade this single package with
apt-get --reinstall install foo, everything is working but the files are not copied into /opt, so the package is marked as installed but in fact is not really installed at all.
2.As a workaround I removed the package with apt-get purge foo and the installed int normally with apt-get install foo and it worked.
Due to already distributed virtual machines containing the apt-get --reinstall install foo line in cron, I have to find a way to make Option 1 working.
Any help is very apreciated! Greetings from Berlin!
