Bug#902992: live-build broken due subversion recommends
there's no conflicts, i try to setup a live build using backports and
not using exim4 as default MTA
but seems the "--apt-recommends false" dont work or there's too many
packages that claims exim4 over others
in my package list there's no exim4 mention and i manually write
"courier-mta" in that package list
my lb command included that:
--apt-recommends false --apt-secure false --apt-options "--yes
-oAcquire::Check-Valid-Until=false -oAcquire::Languages=none"
the complete command was:
lb config \
--mode debian \
--system live \
--interactive shell \
--distribution jessie \
--debian-installer live --debian-installer-gui true \
--architecture i386 \
--archive-areas "main contrib non-free" \
--security true --updates true --backports true \
--linux-flavours "586" \
--linux-packages "linux-image linux-headers" \
--firmware-binary false --firmware-chroot true \
--apt-recommends false --apt-secure false --apt-options "--yes
-oAcquire::Check-Valid-Until=false -oAcquire::Languages=none" \
--checksums none \
--binary-images iso-hybrid \
--memtest memtest86+ \
--win32-loader false \
--verbose
