the problem only appears if you have bootstrapped a minimal chroot
(rather than standard, where apt-utils is installed by default already
anyway), therefore my original claim that it's wrong to run apt-get
update in all cases still holds true.
however, the check in lh_chroot_sources against LH_PACKAGES_LISTS is
somewhat suboptimal, since it doesn't respect peoples choice of using a
regular package list but having set LH_BOOTSTRAP_FLAVOUR to minimal -
which is the only value of interest wrt/ to the apt-utils install problem.
this is fixed in git with the following commit:
