This is done in feature/7756-reintroduce-whisperback but it seems to break tails-greeter.

Instead of the login screen I get a nice “Oh no! Something has gone wrong.” and our greeter doesn’t seem to launch at all but I see no error in the logs. I’m giving up for now.

It would be good to have a little bit more info, so that the next person who works on this doesn’t spend time trying things that have already been tried.

You’ve built from feature/jessie, after having merged feature/7756-reintroduce-whisperback in it locally, right?
Can you please diff the resulting .packages file with the one from a recent, known working Tails/Jessie build?

Once these questions have been answered, feel free to reassign to me, I’ll have a look.

No I’ve build from feature/7756-reintroduce-whisperback. Build went fine.

For some reason I got the wrong tails-greeter, which is likely to be the issue:

I’ll build again from feature/jessie and see the result.

Actually I have no idea how to build from jessie with a custom package from the APT repository without merging remotely the suites. So I won’t really test the package I uploaded but a local copy.

Ah, OK. So you’ve built with the packages from devel, not from feature-jessie.

Use config/chroot_local-packages.

I get:

W: Failed to fetch file:/root/local-packages/./Release  Unable to find expected entry 'Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: config/binary_local-hooks/40-include_syslinux_in_ISO_filesystem failed (exit non-zero). You should check for errors.
P: Begin unmounting filesystems...

$ ls -1 config/chroot_local-packages/

whisperback_1.6.24+python3.dsc
whisperback_1.6.24+python3_i386.changes
whisperback_1.6.24+python3.tar.xz

I had the very same error when I inly put the .deb there.

May you please retry with the following patch applied?
