package in config/chroot_packages/ isn't installed in the chroot

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli]

I just tried ubuntu-defaults-image with a local --package option.
ubuntu-defaults-image --package ~/work/isofr/ubuntu-defaults-french_0.1_all.deb
(the package was generate from lp:~ubuntu-fr/+junk/french-cd and does contain in particular langpack and keyboard change)

Once the build was done (using 3.0~a24-1ubuntu15 in oneiric), no french localization was installed. Digging into it, it seems that the package isn't installed in the chroot, despite all recognotion and sedding to get the correct locale is successful by ubuntu-defaults-image.

There is a config/chroot_packages/ubuntu-defaults-french_0.1_all.deb, but the chroot doesn't contain it. See attached build log to confirm it wasn't installed and the package list file confirms as well.

Indeed I reported this to Debian a while ago, and it got fixed there. But unfortunately we didn't merge again after that.

This bug was fixed in the package live-build - 3.0~a24-1ubuntu16

---------------
live-build (3.0~a24-1ubuntu16) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Add ubuntu-chroot_packages_install.patch: Our current live-build version
    only half-transitioned away from the *_local() functions. Put back the
    call to lb chroot_local-packages, so that packages installed into
    chroot/root/packages/ actually get installed. This is fixed properly in
    3.0~a25-1, so this can be dropped again at the next merge. (LP: #857494)
