Broken iso live images on debian sid
Hello,
Even with the simplest configuration (or the following config: git clone
git://live-systems.org/git/debian-lxde-desktop.git) live-buil creates on
debian sid *broken* iso images which are not able to boot (after
displaying the boot menu futher booting ends on initramfs prompt). I
have executed some tests like described in the attached file
(sid-lb-config.txt).
For some reason the versions of live builder packages packages on the
created image are older than these ones on the build host (details in
the attached sid-lb-config.txt file).
Do you have any idea, how to trace this issue? it is useless to check
the BTS of debian refer to this issue, yet.
I am not sure if it is a bug in new sid packages, the new version of
live builder3.x, my missunderstanding of the live manual or something else.
I hope that this message will save people some frustration with building
of live images on debian sid ;)
Thank you in advance for any hints.
regards, Mark

The system starts to boot displaying the boot menu like (even I specified in one more complex config "--distribution sid"):
