chroot build method: autologin failure due to rasdaman

Description
This issue happens when build_chroot script is used with live session username set to "user". The created iso refuses to autologin. This has been tracked with debug script so far and limited down to 3 packages (liblas, rasdaman and mb-system). When initrd modifications are not used this issue is not present.
Proposed solutions:
- Create the iso first without initrd customization and then use the created image file to run a second customization.
- Keep building with debug chroot scripts until we track down the package causing this.
Any other ideas I am missing?

| Summary: | chroot build method: autologin failure → chroot build method: autologin failure due to rasdaman |
This is now more clear, the package responsible for this is rasdaman. After removing it from beta9, the autologin feature is now working.
I assume that there is some file issue that is placed in /home/user and then fails to move to /etc/skel during iso build.
We have to review this installer very carefully.

special build and logs for this issue: http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-debug-build8871.iso http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-debug-build8871-log.tar.gz

it can't just be due to 'user' was owning files outside of /home/user, in 6.0beta9 if you run:
sudo su cd / find / -uid 1000
('user' is UID 999 in the live-iso)
you get 14000 files! including /usr, /var, and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
/opt/gvSIG, Kosmo, qgis_mapserver, /usr/local/share/gisvm (!), web2py, and geonetwork seem to be the major offenders. probably because they extract tarballs to / as the superuser without using the --no-same-owner flag to reset the owner to root. (if so, it's an easy fix)

Autologin now fixed and confirmed in build 8923. I propose to close this issue and open a new one for the permissions, since it is not only for rasdaman.
using chroot debug script there was success to have an iso working: http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-debug-build8833.iso without the above 3 applications and without docs and data installed
