Problem is with live-build:

+ Echo_message Saving caches...
+ [ false != true ]
+ STRING=Saving caches...
+ shift
+ [ false = false ]
+ printf P:
P:+ [ false = false ]
+ printf Saving caches...\n
 Saving caches...
+ ls .stage/binary*
+ Save_cache cache/packages_chroot
+ DIRECTORY=cache/packages_chroot
+ [ false = true ]
+ rm -f chroot/var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
+ return 1

The problem was with the resolvconf fix for Precise. Since resolvconf is not installed in Oneiric, the code was failing.
