Bug#770637: Config script cannot create live.list.chroot file
Package: live-build
Version: 4.0.3-1
The config script cannot create the file
config/package-lists/live.list.chroot and thus generates an error and
aborts, when the following two conditions are met:
1. You need to use the --clean option, either on the command line, or in
an auto/config file.
2. The config/package-lists directory does not exist, or at least it
must be empty.
Explanation:
The config script creates the config/package-lists directory amongst
others. If you have supplied the --clean option, it later removes some
directories, including this one, if they are empty. Then later still, it
tries to create a file in this directory, but fails because the folder,
under these particular circumstances, does not exist at that point.
As discussed on the mailing list:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2014/11/msg00055.html
A patch built against debian-next is attached.
