Subject: live-helper: correctness problems with package selection Package: live-helper Version: live-helper_1.0~a46-2 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** "lh_clean --purge" does not seem to remove all package selection state information in all cases I'm using two chroot_local-packageslists in my build tree, cryptonas and cryptonas-devel: ---------- # LH: cryptonas-devel #include <cryptonas> subversion strace ssh vim nano less lynx sysklogd w3m screen elinks ---------- ## LH: cryptonas util-linux grub parted dmsetup perl tar bash coreutils module-init-tools ifupdown busybox usbutils pciutils discover hdparm binutils debconf sysutils stunnel4 samba #Apache was breaking the build before work started on the Debian Live changeover. FIXME: re-integrate apache2 hashalot python-clearsilver python-cherrypy python-configobj python-central super dosfstools cryptsetup python-m2crypto ## support for file systems e2tools e2fsprogs xfsprogs hfsutils jfsutils cryptobox-server ## ntfs-3g is not in etch ---------- I performed the following series of non-interactive builds; in each case "lh_clean --purge" was run before beginning the next build: * LH_PACKAGES_LISTS="standard cryptonas-devel", LH_APT_SECURE="enabled" ==> ~155MB image, correct set of packages present * LH_PACKAGES_LISTS="minimal cryptonas-devel", LH_APT_SECURE="enabled" ==> ~139MB image, correct set of packages * LH_PACKAGES_LISTS="minimal cryptonas", LH_APT_SECURE="disabled" ==> ~139MB image, incorrect set of packages (for example, subversion was still present) I tried again: * LH_PACKAGES_LISTS="minimal cryptonas", LH_APT_SECURE="disabled" ==> ~139MB image, incorrect set of packages (for example, subversion was still present) At this point, I renamed config/chroot_local-packageslists/cryptonas-devel to cnas-devel.bkp, ran lh_clean --purge, and built again using the following settings: * LH_PACKAGES_LISTS="minimal cryptonas", LH_APT_SECURE="enabled", LH_APT_SECURE="enabled" ==> ~121MB image, correct set of packages present, specifically excluding subversion From this I conclude that some very-not-obvious package selection state information is sometimes being maintained by the live-helper build system that isn't being removed by "lh_clean --purge". Having LH_APT_SECURE="disabled" seems to play a role in causing the problem also. I'm using apt-cacher version 1.5.3 (debian package) to speed my "live system" builds. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) _______________________________________________ debian-live-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
