Package: live-build Version: 3.0~a21-1 Severity: important With a fully updated sid, the following actions:
mkdir debian-live cd debian-live lb config --apt aptitude sudo lb build ultimately fails with aptitude complaining about --force-yes.

Actions (if none is specified, aptitude will enter interactive mode): ---------- I'm not sure what exactly causes the use of --force-yes, but in this case, I'm configuring nothing other than telling it to use aptitude. This is using a squeeze image, which I know the debian live page says doesn't currently work, but aptitude on sid also doesn't support --force-yes, and I wanted to reproduce this with the minimal possible use. I'm justifying use of "important" because the failure is pretty fundamental and makes the --apt aptitude flag useless. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages live-build depends on: ii cdebootstrap 0.5.7 Bootstrap a Debian system ii debootstrap 1.0.32 Bootstrap a basic Debian system Versions of packages live-build recommends: ii cpio 2.11-7 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii gettext-base 0.18.1.1-3 GNU Internationalization utilities ii gnu-fdisk 1.2.4-3+b1 Linux fdisk replacement based on l Versions of packages live-build suggests: ii dosfstools 3.0.9-1 utilities for making and checking ii fakeroot 1.16-1 tool for simulating superuser priv ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-1 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem pn memtest86+ | memtest86 <none> (no description available) ii mtools 4.0.12-1 Tools for manipulating MSDOS files ii parted 2.3-6 disk partition manipulator pn squashfs-tools | mtd-tools <none> (no description available) ii sudo 1.7.4p6-1 Provide limited super user privile ii syslinux 2:4.04+dfsg-2 collection of boot loaders pn uuid-runtime <none> (no description available) pn win32-loader <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
