Bug#453360: live-helper: global hooks mini and minimal break local hooks natural flow.



Package: live-helper
Version: 1.0~a37-2
Severity: important

When you call lh_build after having configured the live helper build,
several steps are performed. Among them you can find the lh_chroot_hooks
and lh_chroot_local-hooks and they are executed in that order.

The thing is that lh_chroot_hooks usually calls mini or minimal scripts
at /usr/share/live-helper/hooks. They do a cleanup of the chroot, like
for example cleaning the package list(s). This changes the state that some
local-hook script expect like ipw3945.sh.

If they want to install modules-assistant for example, they will be
unable since apt-get won't have an up-to-date package list. For apt-get
any non-installed package will be unknown.

In this situation if you do apt-get update, you will bloat the chroot
and you wouldn't have any other option since the mini or minimal script
have already done the cleanup.

I propose deferring the cleanup when all chroot operations have been
performed either by user or local scripts or any other natural lh
operation.

Thanks.
