Hi Anthony,

Here are what have been left:

root@voyage:~# ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/|wc -l
40
root@voyage:~# ls -la /var/cache/apt/
total 43372
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root       74 Dec 1 03:49 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root       60 Dec 1 04:45 ..
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root       30 Dec 1 03:48 archives
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22216528 Dec 1 03:49 pkgcache.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22195993 Dec 1 03:49 srcpkgcache.bin

root@voyage:~# du -sk /var/cache/apt/ /var/lib/apt/lists/
43372   /var/cache/apt/
89389   /var/lib/apt/lists/

I would expect if "lb chroot_archives chroot remove" works correctly, at lease the above indices should not exists in the final live-image when LB_APT_INDICES=false.

Removing apt indices would decrease the image size which is important for my lean distribution.

Punky

Which files are actually left over?
In synaptic and using apt list after build i can only see the
installed packages, so the option --apt-indices false is doing
something.

Thanks
