Description

This is likely due to these commits:

commit e0e0802f093980a40f419e952364eef790298171
Author: Tails developers <amnesia@boum.org>
Date:   Wed Jul 2 10:47:54 2014 +0000

    Use the "minimal" packages list, rather than the "standard" one.

    The "standard" list includes, in addition to the "minimal" one:

      * console-setup console-common kbd: problematic, as plymouth conflicts with
        console-common; if one of the other two packages is pulled by some
        dependency, fair enough; else, let's say we probably don't need it.
      * locales: provided by the locales-all package, that we explicitly install.

commit 7af9fa8798882378dfd8b9a9766c233810d9c748
Author: Tails developers <amnesia@boum.org>
Date:   Wed Jul 2 11:01:46 2014 +0000

    Don't install "standard-x11" packages list.

    It depends on the "standard" list, that we don't want (see previous commit).

    What we really need among the rest (xorg, menu, alsa-base, alsa-utils,
    keyboard-configuration) will probably be automatically pulled by
    dependencies anyway.

Here’s a complete list of all non-lib packages missing compared to 1.1.1, of which some are expected due to the migration to jessie, but some are unwanted:

As a low-effort test I tried to add some of these into config/chroot_local-packageslists/tails-common.list, but some important of them get purged after our hooks have run, like wget and manpages.

Assigning to me for starters. Also the parent I set was a mistake.

Such as?

My thought was that without the “standard includes”, there are no dependencies preventing some packages (like wget and manpages) to get removed by the late clean-up stages of live-build.

Some definitely unwanted removals are imho:

  • wget
  • manpages and man-db, and info
  • gnome-user-guide which we just explicitly added in 1.1

Indeed, thanks.

These packages are removed by live-build’s hooks/minimal. I’m giving it a try to switch back to the standard packages list, and to find a hack that works around the plymouth / console-common conflict.
