Bug#647402: live-build: Check version of dpkg before activating 'unsafe-io'
Package: live-build
Version: 3.0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
-- System Information:
Debian Release: squeeze/sid
APT prefers natty-updates
APT policy: (500, 'natty-updates'), (500, 'natty-security'), (500, 'natty')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-12-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
The dpkg in the chroot (on a lucid build for example) might not be new enough to handle the 'unsafe-io' option set in the configuration file.
lb_chroot_dpkg should check the chroot's dpkg capability first
