Package: live-build Version: 4.0.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
On a freshly installed Debian Jessie I tried to build a live image with target hdd, following exactly the description in https://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/stable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html 4.7 Building and using an HDD image. ........ At the end of the build I get no image and the reason seems to be this: P: Mounting /dev/loop1 with offset 0 dd: failed to open ‘chroot/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin’: No such file or directory ....... I checked and found chroot/usr/lib/syslinux not existing. Instead chroot/usr/lib/SYSLINUX exists and contains the file mbr.bin. As a workaround I copied chroot/usr/lib/SYSLINUX/* to chroot/usr/lib/syslinux/* and finally could build the hdd image. One other note: the built hdd image is missing the .img extension but it works. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages live-build depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.67 Versions of packages live-build recommends: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-4.1+deb8u1 ii live-boot-doc 4.0.2-1 ii live-config-doc 4.0.4-1 ii live-manual-html [live-manual] 1:4.0.1-1 live-build suggests no packages. -- no debconf information ............................ part of console log The following NEW packages will be installed: dosfstools libparted2 parted syslinux 0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
