the problem only appears if you have bootstrapped a minimal chroot (rather than standard, where apt-utils is installed by default already anyway), therefore my original claim that it's wrong to run apt-get update in all cases still holds true. however, the check in lh_chroot_sources against LH_PACKAGES_LISTS is somewhat suboptimal, since it doesn't respect peoples choice of using a regular package list but having set LH_BOOTSTRAP_FLAVOUR to minimal - which is the only value of interest wrt/ to the apt-utils install problem. this is fixed in git with the following commit: http://git.debian.net/?p=debian-live/live-helper.git;a=commitdiff;h=89a5be3ea41e46b9e3d847005d96a3dbd6ed04b5;hp=2a520c03ef9459f8bf054c059e642f571110aa65 -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
