Hi Ole,

thanks a lot for working on this!

I've tested this but I get:


med(master) $ make dist

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I'm running this command as normal user (not root) and think that we
should not require root permissions to create blends metapackages.
Users can not write to /var/lib/apt and thus

   Can't open file /var/lib/apt/lists/

seems to be the hint for the actual problem.

BTW, I think the rewrite of the script is a good reason to bump the
version of the package to 0.7.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
