Re: live-build generates problems due exim4 as mail-transport-agent why?

[Andreas Heinlein <aheinlein@gmx.com>]

Hello,

this answer may be a bit late, but I hope it will still be useful.

You shouldn't make any package customizations in the debootstrap stage
as you did. This is only useful for packages which are absolutely
required for installing further packages later in the chroot stage.
apt-transport-https and ca-certificates belong to this category.

Instead, try putting

courier-mta
exim4-config-
exim4-daemon-light-

in e.g. config/package-lists/mylist.list.chroot

Note the dash at the end of the exim4 packages, this should instruct
apt/aptitude to remove these packages instead of install them.

Bye,

Andreas
