Package: unetbootin
Version: 408-1
Severity: normal

got an usb stick used with unetbootin befor to install ubuntu.
while proceeding unetbootin prompted about already existing files and
proposed to overwrite All, which i accepted.

but when trying to actually boot from the stick, i got a prompt saying 
"No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!"
seemingly related to syslinux being too old.

checking the stick's contents revealed that several files were, in fact,
not overwritte -- cointrary to what unetbootin led me to believe.

i removed manually everything and run unetbootin again.
after that it worked as expected.
