E: Unable to locate package lightdm
Good Morning everyone.
I have a small problem with either Live Build (or the Debian Repositories) that is stopping me building a livecd and would appreciate some feedback or suggestions.
I am building a Squeeze based distro but pulling some packages from Sid such as the kernel and LightDM. I run through the build process and everything goes well up until this point below.

Del lightdm 1.0.6-3 [124 kB]

Now I know LightDM is available in the repositories because I downloaded it with apt-get download and placed it, and other debs, in the /config/packages.chroot/ and /config/packages.binary/ folders. LightDM is also listed in my preferences file to grab from Sid (it's not available in Squeeze) and I have a sid.bainary and sid.chroot file in archives.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong or is there another issue? If you need any more information just ask and I'll supply it.
Cheers.
Michael.
P.S. Happy New Year.
