Build 20131115.204427.380792858

The error messages are clear:

E: Unable to locate package virtualbox-guest-dkms
E: Unable to locate package virtualbox-guest-utils
E: Unable to locate package virtualbox-guest-x11

However, those packages were not requested:

# CGI Packages List
_LB_CGIPACKAGES=""

I did request them once, but deleted them after seeing the error messages. Twice I resubmitted, and both times the builder somehow remembered my initial request and ignored the correction.

I looked at your build request and looks like you wanted xfce-desktop. The packages which are causing issue are requested from the following config/package-lists:

http://live.debian.net/gitweb/?p=live-images.git;a=blob;f=images/xfce-desktop/config/package-lists/dkms.list.chroot_live;h=1ef267bebd8531ff4bd6c3f58e49f2b2940af412;hb=59da385e8ae473ac64f288093a6889a0564b573d

I will try to run a couple of builds and see if I can figure out why the failure.

I think the issue is that the main archive area only has virtualbox_4.1.18 items and sid expects virtualbox_4.2.16 according to http://packages.qa.debian.org/v/virtualbox.html . The virtualbox_4.2.16 packages are in the contrib archive area, not main. Since the cgi online builder uses LB_ARCHIVE_AREAS="main" sid builds will fail as you describe.

I hope this information helps.
