Missing detailed package selection step in Oneiric

[Stéphane Graber]

The package selection step of Edubuntu isn't showing up on Oneiric, probably because of a python error in the plugin code.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

Python code is fine, the problem is that /etc/apt/sources.list no longer contains deb-src entries.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

The error appears when doing:

import apt_pkg, apt
apt_pkg.init_config()
apt_pkg.init_system()

cache = apt_pkg.Cache(apt.progress.base.OpProgress())
srcpkgrecords=apt_pkg.GetPkgSrcRecords()

SystemError: E:You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

For the record, this is needed to get all the binary packages built from edubuntu-meta to get our list of meta packages and then to list all the packages included in each of them.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

Discussed solution is to turn deb-src back on only for Edubuntu. This way we still save space on Ubuntu and we keep the step working as it used to for Edubuntu.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.12
