Package: debian-edu-config Version: 2.13.6 Severity: important
The LTSP chroot creation for diskless workstation is not robust enough against too-soon reboots of the LTSP server.
The LTSP chroot creation happens post-install at first boot and takes its time. If the admin reboots the machine too quickly, the procedure of LTSP chroot creation get aborted, but the next time the Debian Edu run-at-firstboot script gets started, it checks for the chroot folders being present, sees them and does not repeat the LTSP chroot creation from scratch.
Solution: Mark the chroot folder for LTSP diskless workstations as "COMPLETED_SUCCESSFULLY" at the very end of the chroot creation and always restart the creation until this file has appeared in the chroot.
