your bug report is as helpful as 'i installed debian and the kernel
doesn't boot'.

first of all, when you build a live system with live-helper, there can
be hundrets of combinations, or even millions if one counts in the
package selection. there is no possible way to know or guess which
configuration you were using/building.

and even if we know, it always takes a lot of time to reproduce things.
for almost all bugs, i have spend at least *one* hour just to reproduce
things. and that is in the best case, where the submitter did give all
the required information (and yes, i have a bunch of fast machines at
home to do that sort of things in fastest time there can be)...

...therefore, it is totally reasonable to ask you for the required
information and absolutely no grounds to be agressive.

second of all, when building images of unstable or testing, there are
times where it's not working due to the state of the archive. for those
situations were testing or unstable are known to be broken, we note this
under 'image status' on our website, where we link to a workaround.
maybe you've build testing and hit the squashfs version mismatch which
is referenced in the current image status?

however. come back when you are in a cooperative mood. until then, i'll
close the bug as you requested.

Regards,
Daniel
