Bug#566838: live-helper: clears apt cache before running chroot hooks
Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a5-1
Severity: normal
The apt cache is cleared before running local chroot hooks.
Some packages are broken to the point that they require manual
intervention to install so I do that in a chroot hook which results in
always downloading the package.
I could resolve the issue by creating a custom repository with patched
package versions. However, in absence of such repository it is
preferable to fix the situation inside config.
Thanks
Michal
