[Pkg-ltsp-devel] LTSP Local Applications support

[Jörg Herzinger]

I finally found out why local applications still don't work. While I
installed ltsp-server from Squeeze the client still got built from the
stable repos which don't include local applications support.
I consider this as some serious Problem since I now got a new
ltsp-server Package but and "old" client chroot.
How could I fix this so that just the ltsp-client-core and such are
taken from Squeeze? Will a "chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get -t testing
install ltsp-client-core" fix this??
