Package: syslinux
Version: 2:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When we try to build a ISO with everything needed to install Debian Edu
Jessie (we call it the usbstick ISO), isohybrid fail with an error
message:
isohybrid:
/skolelinux/administrator/debmirror/builder_temp_dir/jessie-usbstick/CD/jessie-usbstick/debian-8.0+edu0~a0-amd64-i386-BD-1.iso:
seek error - 3: Invalid argument
I tried to figure out what is wrong, and suspect the cause is that
isohybrid is built without support for large files. This is the file in
question:
% ls -lh debian-8.0+edu0~a0-amd64-i386-BD-1.iso
-rw-rw-r-- 1 builder builder 4.8G Nov 12 12:10
debian-8.0+edu0~a0-amd64-i386-BD-1.iso
%
We run the command like this:
isohybrid -h 64 -s 32 debian-8.0+edu0~a0-amd64-i386-BD-1.iso
Here is the end of an strace of the failing run:

The 18446744071796654080 value is 0xFFFFFFFF8DFB8000 in hex, a bit
larger than I had expected. :)
This is the end of the output from ltrace:

So the failing command is a fseek on the ISO. Do you have any idea how
we cat get isohybrid working in Wheezy?
