Fwd: Installing ubiquity from source on Ubuntu live cd.

[Pieter van Zyl]

Good day,

I am trying to modify the Ubuntu Hardy Live desktop cd following the 
instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization

I am busy modifying the Ubiquity installer(I checked out a branch)

When I was using the iso image of Gutsy everything worked fine and I could 
install the modified Ubiquity 1.7.4 on the extracted iso and rebuild the iso.

I also obtained the newest version/branch from Ubiquity and created deb's and 
tried to install these on Hardy Alpha5 without any modifications to the 
installer and getting an error.

When I try to install Ubiquity on the extracted iso image I get the following 
errors:

-------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas? Problem with the alpha for not having the packages needed by 
Ubiquity?

Or do I need to modify ubiquity's dependencies? Rebuild the deb's?

Or other problem?

Kindly

Pieter
