Summary	0000095: e17 package missing; unable to build Kali with e17 like shown in the docs
Description	Trying to build a custom Kali ISO with e17 from an existing Kali live system fails in the build step due to the e17 package missing. All steps in the documentation on building a custom ISO ( http://docs.kali.org/live-build/live-build-a-custom-kali-iso ) and in the article on customizing the Kali desktop ( http://docs.kali.org/live-build/customize-the-kali-desktop-environment ) have been followed. The computer had internet access and I updated the source lists.
Steps To Reproduce	Start Kali live system run 'apt-get update' while being connected to the Internet 'apt-get install git live-build cdebootstrap kali-archive-keyring' 'git clone git://git.kali.org/live-build-config.git' 'cd live-build-config' 'lb config' edit 'config/package-lists/kali.list.chroot' according to the docs article to enable e17 'lb config --architecture amd64' 'lb build'
Additional Information	A 'binary.log'-file created in the build process is attached.
Attached Files	binary.log (44,752 bytes)

muts 2013-03-17 11:36 reporter ~0000117	This is correct. E17 is not yet in our repositories due to upstream issues. The E17 options has been removed from the docs site for now.
