Hi, Linux semantics is that component ".." hops up to the parent directory of the link-resolved current tree node. xorriso hopped up to the previous path component.
I have uploaded a new development snapshot. Please test whether it solves the problem. In a directory of your choice, do wget http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/xorriso-1.3.5.tar.gz # optionally verify its MD5: 84ebab5aa1de56dec8c22ad046c2b5f0 tar xzf xorriso-1.3.5.tar.gz cd xorriso-1.3.5 && ./configure && make && xorriso/xorriso -version The -version command should report among other lines Version timestamp : 2014.02.10.104827 No need to install it. Just use the absolute path and command -as "mkisofs" instead of "xorrisofs": xorriso="$(pwd)/xorriso/xorriso" cd /somewhere/else "$xorriso" -as mkisofs -f -o test.iso root/ If you want to install it over the Debian xorriso, then find the latter by debian_xorriso=$(which xorriso) echo "$debian_xorriso" and copy the new binary at the location of the (much smaller) Debian one mv "$debian_xorriso" "$debian_xorriso"_debian cp "$xorriso" "$debian_xorriso" The new binary brings its statically linked copies of libburn, libisofs, and libisoburn. So these Debian packages can stay installed as they are. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
