[Gnewsense-dev] gen-livecd failure

[Simon Josefsson]

Hi!  I've successfully built a distribution using do-update on a machine
running gnewsense 2.2.  No additional packages were needed beyond those
mentioned under 'Step 3' on
<http://www.gnewsense.org/Builder/HowToCreateYourOwnGNULinuxDistribution>
so the instructions seems fine to me.

The only problem was that the postix package asked me a debconf
question, despite the DEBIAN_PRIORITY=critical in update-chroot.  I
assume that is a postfix packaging bug?  I chose 'No configuration'.

However, using gen-livecd fails, see output below.  Any ideas?  There is
no package gnonsense-desktop package as far as I can tell.  Btw, my
distribution is called 'gNonSense'.  Two gnonsense packages appears to
have been built by do-update:

address@hidden:/scratch/gnonsense/builder# echo 
/scratch/gnonsense/gnonsense/pool/main/g/gnonsense-*
/scratch/gnonsense/gnonsense/pool/main/g/gnonsense-artwork 
/scratch/gnonsense/gnonsense/pool/main/g/gnonsense-meta
address@hidden:/scratch/gnonsense/builder# 

Thanks,
Simon

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnonsense-desktop: Depends: gnonsense-artwork but it is not going to be 
installed
                     Depends: gnonsense-gdm-themes but it is not installable
                     Depends: usplash-theme-gnonsense but it is not installable
