Bug#586929: live-helper: packages not cached on failed build
Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a14-1
Severity: normal
When build fails the chroot is left as is but the downloaded packages
are not added to the chroot package cache. The same probably applies to
bootstrap, etc.
Obviously, some of the packages so cached might be useless when the
build fails. On the other hand, some mey be still useful and
redownloading them is a problem over a slower internet connection.
