## Re: New versions of installer and snapshot (9.1.x) for sid

Mon Aug 25, 2014 1:34 pm

The latest version of Sid syslinux is missing isohdpfx.bin at location;
/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/
If I try to generate an iso with the latest refractasnapshot the eror message reports that this file is missing-sorry I deleted the error file.

Code:
  `[[email protected]
  :~$ apt-cache policy syslinux
  syslinux:
  Installed: 3:6.03~pre19+dfsg-3
  Candidate: 3:6.03~pre19+dfsg-3
  Version table:
  *** 3:6.03~pre19+dfsg-3 0
  500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages
  100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  [email protected]
  :~$ apt-cache policy isolinux
  isolinux:
  Installed: 3:6.03~pre19+dfsg-3
  Candidate: 3:6.03~pre19+dfsg-3

Thanks for the heads-up. I had to update and dist-upgrade to see it, but you're right. It's now located at /usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin. For now, you can change it in the script. In refractasnapshot-gui, it's around line 682.
Change this line:

Code:
  `isohybrid_opt="-isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/isohdpfx.bin"`

to this:

Code:
  `isohybrid_opt="-isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin"`

and it should work.
I guess I'll have to add a conditional to test for the location and set the option correctly.
Note: it's part of the isolinux package, which is now separate from syslinux.

Cool thanks for the info.
I have been building test ISOs with the previous Sid syslinux version 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1
I will keep you posted on the fix...

One of the causes for that is to try to post forbidden words, such as (slash)etc. I guess someone thinks that anyone who posts the path to a config file is trying to do something evil.
Thanks for the update.

New debs with the fix are now in the testing folder at ibiblio.
refractasnapshot, -base and -gui, version 9.1.2-1
Note: I made the changes, but I don't have time to test it. Hope I did it right.

Thanks so much for testing and reporting. I just tried it this morning, and I made a snapshot of sid (in virtualbox), added the iso to one of my live-usb sticks, and it works.
