Package: live-build
Version: 3.0~a38-1
Severity: normal
When using a space in the label name for a hdd image, the build fails.
The problem is that it tries to run
Chroot chroot "mkfs.${MKFS} ${MKFS_OPTIONS} ${FREELO}"
with
MKFS_OPTIONS="... -n ${LB_HDD_LABEL}"
This fails because only the first word is considered the label, so the
second word is the file it tries to mkfs on.
I tried to fix this by adding (single) quotes to the assignment of
MKFS_OPTIONS in /usr/share/live/build/scripts/build/lb_binary_hdd, but
the quotes ended up in the label name (first word, including the opening
quote, was the label, next word, including the closing quote, was the
"device"). So a bit more is required to fix it.
The error is very confusing and doesn't point at the problem at all. A
quick improvement in case a real fix is too hard, would be to make lb
config complain about the space.
Thanks,
Bas Wijnen
