DEBPKG(1)                            General Commands Manual                            DEBPKG(1)

NAME
       debpkg - wrapper for dpkg

SYNOPSIS
       debpkg dpkg-options

DESCRIPTION
       debpkg  simply invokes dpkg(1) but first becomes superuser so that dpkg is able to install
       and remove packages.  It also cleans the environment and resets PATH to  a  sane  default:
       "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11"  so  that  local versions of programs are not
       run by accident.

REQUIREMENTS
       debpkg must be given superuser privileges in some way to  function  properly.   Access  to
       debpkg  with  those  privileges  is  the  same as having superuser access to your machine.
       debpkg will abort if it finds that it neither being run by root nor setuid root.

       The devscripts package has been designed to allow debpkg to be  made  setuid  root.   This
       works  by using a compiled wrapper script, which means that suidperl is not required.  See
       dpkg-statoverride(8) if you wish to make this program setuid root.  sudo  or  super  could
       also conceivably be used.
