Package: bootcd
Version: 2.48
Severity: normal
How to reproduce the bug
- Change the default configuration to COMPRESS="no".
- Specify a working chroot environment in the SRCDISK option
In my case it is "/sarge".
- Specify a cron job name in the DISABLE_CRON setting, which exists in
the chroot environment but does not exist in the external environment.
In my case it is "etc/cron.daily/exim4-base" and exim4 isn't
installed on the external (/) environment.
- Run bootcdwrite
the error message will be something similar:
--- OUTPUT from <mkisofs -graft-points -R -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o

mkisofs: Error: '/sarge/etc/cron.daily/exim4-base' and
'/var/spool/bootcd/changes/etc.ro/cron.daily/exim4-base' have the same Rock
Ridge name 'exim4-base'.
mkisofs: Unable to sort directory /var/spool/bootcd/changes/etc.ro/cron.daily
exit=255
This is caused by a simple bug in bootcdwrite. When the script makes up
the exclude list it examines the possible name collision between
/var/spool/bootcd/changes/foo and /foo. It should examine the existence
of $SRCDISK/foo instead of /foo. The following micropatch fixes the
bug.
