Problem building a live system : where to look for causes ?

[fboiteux at calistel.com (Frédéric BOITEUX)]

	Hello,

  I'm trying to build an Etch live system for net boot with live-helper
(1.0~a19-1) and live-initramfs (1.91.5-1).
 The make-live command doesn't success and I don't get resulting
squashfs filesystem.
  I've set --verbose and --debug options in make-live command, and
found that in lh_binary command, it can't install squashfs-tools, for
name resolution problem :

...
P: Begin building root filesystem image...
D: Executing: aptitude install --assume-yes  squashfs-tools
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading extended state information...
Initializing package states...
Writing extended state information...
Reading task descriptions...
Building tag database...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  squashfs-tools 
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 95.3kB of archives. After unpacking 274kB will be used.
Writing extended state information...
Err http://ftp.debian.org etch/main squashfs-tools 1:3.1r2-6.1
  Temporary failure resolving 'ftp.debian.org'
E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/squashfs/squashfs-to
ols_3.1r2-6.1_i386.deb: Temporary failure resolving 'ftp.debian.org'
D: Reading configuration file config/common
D: Reading configuration file config/bootstrap

What I don't understand is that it succeed in the chroot construction
installing a bunch of packages, but fails to resolve ftp.debian.org in
the binary building...

As a side note, the lh_binary continues to run even with install
errors, and the make-live command don't report any error nor return a
non-zero value.

  I don't know where to look for the cause of my problem, I've looked
at the lh_binary_rootfs program but with no clues... From the whole
 run picture in /usr/share/doc/live-helper/README, it seems that a
resolv.conf should be installed before lh_binary_rootfs is run, but I
don't know how to verify this...

  Any help would be appreciated !

  With regards,
		Fred.
