Package: live-helper Version: 2.0~a6-1 Severity: normal
According to apt's manpages, the sources are listed in order of preference. Since the deb: file... line generated by live-helper is at the end of the sources.list, it takes last priority behind everything else in sources.list and sources.list.d. If the file generate were changed to something like: # Add to sources.list echo "" > chroot/etc/apt/sources.list.d/50local-packages.list echo "# Local packages" >> chroot/etc/apt/sources.list.d/50local-packages.list echo "deb file:/root/local-packages ./" >> chroot/etc/apt/sources.list.d/50local-packages.list it would bring the file: to higher than sources.list and leave room on both sides for the builder to decide where he wants it in the list of custom sources. I didn't include this as a patch as it is only one of many ways of making the change and I will leave it up to the maintainers to decide just how they want to handle things. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages live-helper depends on: ii cdebootstrap 0.5.5 Bootstrap a Debian system ii debootstrap 1.0.20 Bootstrap a basic Debian system Versions of packages live-helper recommends: ii gettext-base 0.17-8 GNU Internationalization utilities Versions of packages live-helper suggests: ii dosfstools 3.0.7-1 utilities for making and checking ii fakeroot 1.14.4-1 Gives a fake root environment ii genisoimage 9:1.1.10-1 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem ii grub 0.97-59 GRand Unified Bootloader (dummy pa pn memtest86+ | memtest86 <none> (no description available) ii mtools 4.0.10-1 Tools for manipulating MSDOS files pn parted <none> (no description available) pn squashfs-tools | genext2fs | <none> (no description available) ii sudo 1.7.2p1-1 Provide limited super user privile ii uuid-runtime 2.16.2-0 runtime components for the Univers pn win32-loader <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
