I don't know which of this realy are in use (or some part of this) so please consider to
either install agin or to delete the package.
I've traced the build logs and saw these packages are installed but somehow they are automagically removed in the later stage of the build process without any hints. I am now tracing when they are deleted.

The whole timezone stuff (/usr/share/zoneinfo) of package tzdata was deleted...
Is this the right way?
Thanks for reporting. It is caused by one of the hook script remove /usr/share/zoneinfo. http://svn.voyage.hk/repos/voyage/branches/voyage-live/0.6.2/config/chroot_local-hooks/099-voyage
I have corrected this.
http://svn.voyage.hk/repos/voyage/trunk/voyage-live/config/chroot_local-hooks/099-voyage

The workaround is to reinstall tzdata (apt-get install --reinstall tzdata).
Now the worst thing (at least for me :-)):
I've noticed (and read in changelog) that /rw /ro was replaced by /var/log and /var/tmp with aufs
and that /rw and /ro are no more in use.
It's not aufs as of 0.6.2.  It is tmpfs as 0.6.2 default.
I think this is a very bad idea.
To replace /var/log /var/tmp is a good idea BUT you should leave the conecpt of /ro and /rw For example there are a lot of packages which needs rw access at runtime in other places
of /var like
 pdnsd : /var/cache/pdnsd
 dhcp3-server : /var/lib/dhcp3
 mrtg: /var/lib/mrtg
and may more.
See release announcement 0.6.2.  http://linux.voyage.hk/?q=node/41
You can define these rw directories to VOYAGE_SYNC_DIRS in /etc/default/voyage-util. The problem with ro/ rw/ is that when you install new packages, the new files created somewhere under /var/ is lost after reboot, and you need to carefully and manually create the symlink in /ro to /rw
as also the whole home dir of users which you want for example save the .ssh keys
while the machine is up ...
I now you can link to /var/tmp but I think this is not the right way
I must say I don't know aufs well.
I can add dirs in voyage-sync but thats not the solution to the above problem, or is it?
You can add $HOME/.ssh to VOYAGE_SYNC_DIRS. The only deficiency is that it does not work for a single file.

If the /rw /ro stuff really will be disabled please post a not how the users can enable this if it want.
Of what is the solution to the above problem with aufs.
/rw and /ro was removed since 0.6.0, and there is no plan to bring this back. If the above solution does not work for you, please let me know what situations need voyage linux to support. The /ro and /rw replacement has been discussed in the list during the course of VL 0.6 developement.

Thanks a lot and Greetings

Beat

PS: Voyage homepage is down at the moment so I can not search for more infos ...
