Thank you for your reply Daniel. I do understand things may not work but I didn't expect LB not to be able to find a package I had manually placed within the config structure. I tried a different build just yesterday using Wheezy, I added the repositories for the MATE desktop environment (which is for wheezy) and got this error "E: Unable to locate package mate-core" which I know works because I have it running on my laptop. I have again placed files in the appropriate places added the appropriate keyrings (that install correctly) and added the appropriate repositories (.binary and .chroot) and to get this same message with a file built for the version I am trying to build tells me there is something wrong with either my settings or LB being able to bring something in from a "foreign" repository.
I am currently building a repo with MATE in it that I will host on a NAS just for this project. I will see what is happening once I get that up and running. Again thanks for your reply. Michael.
