i'm guessing you mean "ltsp-build-client".

yes, when the install fails, it will not usually boot.

that would be useful.

clearly, for some reason related to the symlink,
xserver-xorg-input-wacom failed to install.

did you have an existing LTSP environment already, or attempt to install
LTSP before and fail?

if you "mv /opt/ltsp/i386 /opt/ltsp/i386.old" and then re-run
ltsp-build-client, does it fail in the same way?

did you pass ltsp-build-client any commandline options?

live well,
