gdebi: Use alternative root dir.

gdebi

$ gdebi ${path-to-package-deb} --root=${path-to-root_dir}

try on your machine

This command is using the gdebi utility to install a Debian package (with the .deb extension) onto a specific root directory.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

gdebi is the name of the utility being used to install the package. gdebi is a tool that installs Debian packages and automatically resolves and installs any additional dependencies that the package requires.
${path-to-package-deb} is a variable that should be replaced with the actual file path to the Debian package you want to install. It specifies the location of the .deb file.
--root=${path-to-root_dir} is an option for gdebi that defines the root directory where the package will be installed. ${path-to-root_dir} is another variable that should be replaced with the target root directory path.

By executing this command, gdebi will install the specified Debian package onto the provided root directory, ensuring that any necessary dependencies are resolved and installed as well.
