Package: live-build
Version: 2.0.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: images don’t build without network access
I define a mirror for the bootstrap phase. A mirror (the same) for the
chroot phase. A mirror (still the same) for the binary phase. I make a
configuration for a usb-hdd build.
But in the end, live-build fails silently. The script finishes, and I
don’t get any binary.img.
Removing .stage/binary* and retrying gives another error message:
# lb binary

P: Begin building root filesystem image...

E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes
P: Begin unmounting filesystems...
In chroot/etc/apt/sources.list, there is only one line:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
Since ftp.us is not reachable from the machine where it is building
(remember, I set a specific mirror precisely because of that), this
explains the error.
>From here, I tried a bit of voodoo: replaced the sources.list by hand,
run apt-get update in the chroot. No more luck, it still fails silently,
and AFAICT I’m not using a specific filesystem that specifically trashes
files named binary.img.
Running “lb binary” twice will even overwrite the sources.list again
(seriously? isn’t the contents of the chroot supposed to be fixed after
the chroot phase?)
No more luck with lb binary_usb:
# lb binary_usb

So, should I prepare for sacrificing a chicken now?
I’m seriously sick of the whole of live-build being changed in each
version. I used to be able to build working images with earlier versions
of 2.0. We’re supposed to be in a *deep freeze*, and not only did the
configuration format change again, but now it’s not even possible to do
the simplest things anymore.
