I have been unable to use test/rebuild.sh to build unstable or testing
images the past 2 days. From the terminal output, the error seems to
happen at the binary_package-lists stage. The tree walking error comes
from apt, according to Debian Codesearch.


Steps
*******
Install Debian Testing with GNOME
After install:
sudo apt install git live-build
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build

I would not recommend to build inside the live-build source code directory.
Also, you did not activate the git version of live-build, but were using the 
packaged version.
(Note: you still need 'apt-get install live-build', to ensure that the 
dependencies of live-build are installed)

I propose to run these commands as the following steps:

# Create your own build directory
mkdir build_here
cd build_here
# Become root
sudo su
# Activate the git version of live-build (by pointing LIVE_BUILD to the git 
work directory)
export LIVE_BUILD=$(pwd)/../live-build
# Build the live image
${LIVE_BUILD}/test/rebuild.sh --configuration lomiri --debian-version testing

Yesterday I was able to build a live image for lomiri using sid.

As I wrote in 
https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/466:
Currently forky (testing) has issues with the Debian-installer, which will get 
resolved when kernel 6.19 lands in forky [1].
Please build with sid for the moment, or you can accept that the d-i from GRUB 
will not work, by additionally providing `--installer-origin archive` to 
rebuild.sh.

With kind regards,
