<![CDATA[Getting error while installing through dpkg]]>When I used dpkg to install the .deb file in the libertine container, I faced this error while using apt-get. I can't use sudo in the bash of the container
dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege

That seems no longer to be easily possible on 20.04.

But is it not more important that you can achieve your objective of installing a package, rather than using apt specifically for doing so?

You can install debs with libertine-container-manager install-package, at least according to the --help. I have not tried yet myself.

Is there no way I can use apt anyway in ubuntu touch?

The supported way of installing packages in a libertine container is with the libertine-container-managercommand. Type

libertine-container-manager install-package -h

for more info on how to install .deb files.

I don't know for libertine as i don't use it and never did.

Maybe it's different from UT bash, but under UT i had some times to do "sudo su", then entering my phone unlock pincode, in order to have somme command working.

Again, i'm noob in linux, and even more in libertine, so i hope someone who knows well this UT "tool" will provide you some better help 😅

requested operation requires superuser privilege

I may be wrong, but isn'it it sudo su then entering password for getting superuser privilege ?
I'm a noob so pardon me if i said bull stuff ^^
