Bug#573627: live-helper: LH_PACKAGES_LIST=rescue results in build failure for sid target
Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a8-1
Severity: normal
The file /usr/share/live-helper/lists/rescue AKA "rescue" fails as
an LH_PACKAGES_LISTS entry for a sid target. It requests a
non-existent package, "msntp" be included in the chroot. According to
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/03/msg00004.html
this package has been removed for sid. This bug requires manual
intervention to bypass. The package is available in lenny, but testing
and unstable do not have this package (for most arch in unstable).
I resolved this by surrounding the entry with #if DISTRIBUTION lenny
and #endif to restrict this package inclusion to lenny.
