It looks like the usb-hdd images also have this issue. If I boot with
the image from
http://live.debian.net/cdimage/release/6.0.7/amd64/usb-hdd/debian-live-6.0.7-amd64-gnome-desktop.img
then /sbin/start-stop-daemon is again empty:
$ cat /sbin/start-stop-daemon
#!/bin/sh
exit 0
$
@Emanoil: It looks like there is no .deb file for dpkg included in the
netboot or usb-hdd images. I get no output from find | grep dpkg ,
and the pool/main/d directory doesn't have a dpkg subdirectory.
Actually, maybe the /sbin/start-stop-daemon is being changed by
live-build, because it is the same in the image as it is after booting
(using unsquashfs -lls filesystem.squashfs /sbin/start-stop-daemon ).
By the way, the iso-hybrid image does not seem to have this issue, at
least the gnome-desktop one from
http://live.debian.net/cdimage/release/6.0.7/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-6.0.7-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso
Thanks,
Edwin
