Subject: Using LH_BOOTSTRAP="copy" makes live-helper screw up the host system
Package: live-helper
Version: 1.0.0+20080903.215656
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello,

the LH_BOOTSTRAP="copy" option of live-helper is broken. If used, the
chroot will be created with the following command:

find / ! -name /proc ! -name /sys ! -name "$(dirname ${PWD})" | xargs cp
-a chroot

(/usr/bin/lh_bootstrap_copy, line 54).

I think the intention of this command was to copy the host system into
the chroot. But in fact it copies some files from the host system to
some other location in the host system. Afterwards it is very hard to
detect what files were copied where.
