Package: live-build Version: 4.0.4-1 Creating this bug to have a written record and bug number for this problem area.
The chroot_archives script, which is used in toggling the chroot between 'chroot' (build) and 'binary' (live) apt archive configuration, does an imperfect job in toggling between these two states. The biggest issue is covered by bug #775989, where in 'remove' mode, a lot of things are skipped that shouldn't be skipped should the chroot and binary mirrors be the same. A secondary smaller issue, covered by bug #775991 is the chroot/root/packages.chroot file not getting deleted and making it into the final image. Though this bug only surfaced when the installer stage was split out of the binary stage in version 4.x. Remaining unsolved issues include: - Apply mode does not remove user supplied binary sources.list.d, apt.conf.d, and preferences.d files. It is necessary that it does so because chroot gets toggled back and forth between chroot and binary modes through the various build stages, and as it is, when apt is run in 'chroot' mode, it may incorrectly run with binary configuration influencing it, which could in some setups cause problems. - User supplied keyring files installed in apply (chroot) mode are not removed in remove (binary) mode. Thus these keys will remain installed in the live image when they shouldn't. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
