Package: live-helper Version: 1.0.1-1 Hi,
I'm currently attempting to build a Debian Live-CD and leave most of
the configuration variables undefined. Unfortunately, this doesn't
work -- some of the variables are not defaulted correctly.
When LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM and LH_LINUX_PACKAGES are left undefined, the
build process breaks with
D: Executing: xargs --arg-file=/root/chroot_packages apt-get --yes install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Regex compilation error - Invalid preceding regular expression
The chroot/root/chroot_packages files starts with the following:
linux-image-2.6-486
${LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM}-modules-2.6-486
squashfs-modules-2.6-486
linux-image-2.6-686
${LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM}-modules-2.6-686
squashfs-modules-2.6-686
auto
This was fixed by explicitly saying
LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM="aufs"
LH_LINUX_PACKAGES="linux-image-2.6 ${LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM}-modules-2.6
squashfs-modules-2.6"
At that point, Apt complainded about being unable to find the package
``auto'', which was fixed by saying
LH_INITRAMFS="auto"
I'm not kidding.
