Re: E: Unable to locate package lightdm

You are correct I am using lb3 (sorry I should have written that in my first message but I kind of figured people would see what I was using by the locations I wrote about) but your assumption that I am putting it in lb2 locations is incorrect. From my first message

"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."

So yes, I believe I am placing the required files in the correct places.

it finds it if you put it in the right location; i presume you were
using lb3 and put it in the old location for lb2 (old:
config/chroot_local-packages; new: config/packages.chroot).

have you put the archive definitions in the right location? lb2 used
config/chroot_sources/foo.{binary,chroot} and
config/chroot_sources/foo.{binary,chroot}.gpg, lb3 uses
config/archives/foo.{list,key}.{chroot,binary}
