I think what you want is '--relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH'

But, I've not used it and just scanned the man page...

--relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH
	For relocatable binary packages, translate all file  paths  that
	start with OLDPATH in the package relocation hint(s) to NEWPATH.
	This option can be used repeatedly if several OLDPATHs  in  the 
       	package are to be relocated.

Until later, Geoffrey
