Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a23-1
Severity: normal


When setting LH_LINUX_PACKAGES=linux-image-2.6.35-um and LH_LINUX_FLAVOURS=amd64+ the kernel live-helper attempts to install is linux-image-2.6.35-um-amd64

This makes building with git kernel impossible.

Workaround is to pass --apt apt to lh config.

On irc twb suggested that this is because the tool used by live-helper
to install packages by default eats the trailing + and that apt in sid
has this functionality as well so this will break completely in the
future.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: squeeze/sid
  APT prefers stable

I waited now a relatively long time to be hit by a lightning stroke, but
this hasn't happened. I simple can't reproduce it as already said in
my first mail: works with g++ from debian archive and even after writing
a small apt testcase for it with the packages g++, apt and apt+ all
commands i issue have the expected result…

… that and this remark suggests me more that something is wrong in the
setup Michal used which is completely unrelated to apt and live-helper
and therefore not a bug in APT.
So i am closing that one now - but feel free to reopen if this seems wrong.


Still, thanks for the report & best regards

David Kalnischkies

P.S.: This assumes that Daniel can't reproduce it as his reproduction
instructions look more like a "doesn't live-helper related" than a
"yes, happens for me, too".
