ltsp-client: Depends: acpid but it is not installable

[Daniel Bair]

Binary package hint: ltsp-client

acpid does not and has never existed for the powerpc arch!

PLEASE remove this dependency so we can build a ltsp client environment for the powerpc or create a dummy acpid package for powerpc!

I can confirm this bug as well.

I created a dummy acpid package and hacked it into the install scripts to copy it to the chroot and install it before ltsp-client.

Thanks,

Would you tell me exactly what script files you modified and how.

Obviously this is a temporary workaround, for personal testing only.

I added these two lines to the 030-early-packages script.

 cp /root/acpid.deb $ROOT
 chroot $ROOT dpkg -i /acpid.deb

This is what my "/usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/030-early-packages" file looks like.

case "$MODE" in
    commandline)
        add_option "early-packages" "`eval_gettext "set the list of packages to install after base-install is completed."`" "advanced" "true"
        ;;
    configure)
        if [ -n "$option_early_packages_value" ]; then
            EARLY_PACKAGES="$option_early_packages_value"
        fi
        ;;
    after-install)
 cp /root/acpid.deb $ROOT
 chroot $ROOT dpkg -i /acpid.deb
        chroot $ROOT apt-get $APT_GET_OPTS install $EARLY_PACKAGES
        ;;
esac

Thanks, I ended up figuring out how on my own; and I it did exactly as you
had done. Amazing.
