Installing on Debian Lenny based system (Mepis 8.x) using Lenny-backports for newer ltsp packages (as per: http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto/Lenny-With-Backports ) which install ltsp-server*_5.1.1.85-1_all and ldm-server_2.0.45-1_all (needed to edit apt-pinning to get ltsp-server* packages to install..??) but running:
ltsp-build-client --extra-help only results in: LTSP Build Client usage: ltsp-build-client <options> Regular options: --dist Set the distribution to be used for install --extra-help Display help for all available commandline options --help Display this help message Advanced options: --arch set the target architecture --base Set the default base install directory --chroot Set the name of the chroot. --config Load a user specific configuration file --debug Enable debug support --exclude exclude packages from the initial chroot --prompt-rootpass prompt to set the root password, defaults to disabled --purge-chroot purge existing LTSP chroot if present whereas the pure Debian Lenny + backports install I did a few days ago gives me the full list of extra options: ltsp-build-client --extra-help LTSP Build Client usage: ltsp-build-client <options> Regular options: --dist Set the distribution to be used for install --extra-help Display help for all available commandline options --help Display this help message --mirror Set the mirror location Advanced options: --accept-unsigned-packages allow unsigned packages during install. --apt-keys include the listed keys in the apt keyring --arch set the target architecture --base Set the default base install directory --chroot Set the name of the chroot. --components Set the components to be used in mirror --config Load a user specific configuration file --copy-package-cache cache downloaded packages --copy-package-lists copy apt Packages files from server --copy-sourceslist use the servers sources.list instead of generating one --create-ext2-image create ext2 image for use with NBD --create-fs-image create image for use with NBD of the specified filesystem --debconf-seeds load debconf seeding in the chroot after install --debug Enable debug support --early-mirror add a mirror, which takes priority over the default mirror --early-packages set the list of packages to install after base-install is completed. --enable-popcon enable popularity-contest in the chroot --exclude exclude packages from the initial chroot --extra-mirror add a mirror, with lower priority than the default mirror --http-proxy use specified http proxy --keep-packages keep cache of downloaded package files --kernel-packages set the list of kernel packages to install. --kiosk a simple webkiosk mode. --late-packages list of packages to install as part of the final installation. --locale Set the default locale --mount-cdrom mounts CDROM before installation --mount-package-cache mount package cache dir from server --no-guess-proxy do not autodetect apt proxy configuration --pin-dist distribution to set up apt pinning --pin-packages list of packages to install from the pinned distribution --prompt-rootpass prompt to set the root password, defaults to disabled --purge-chroot purge existing LTSP chroot if present --security-mirror add a security mirror --serial-console enable serial console --skip-upgrade skip upgrade of installed packages. --squashfs-image create squashfs image for use with NBD. What gives? Has there been some regression, or is my package manager lying to me - dpkg -l ltsp-server* No packages found matching ltsp-server_5.1.85-1_all.deb. No packages found matching ltsp-server-standalone_5.1.85-1_all.deb. Where I'd expect a list of available ltsp-server* packages and their status... I have tried the old remove --purge method before trying a re-install - to no avail. It just means I can't use --extra-mirror and --apt-keys options as instructed in the above link - suggests to me I don't really have the latest backported packages installed even though they indicate they are! ?
