Package: bootcd
Version: 4.04
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer,
"bootcd" appears to rely, but not depend, on the "isolinux" package:
root@nb150:~# bootcdwrite
[...]
--- Building Modifications ---
cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin': No such file or directory
Please consider specifying this requirement among the package dependences.
Upon manual installation via:
root@nb150:~# apt-get install isolinux
.... it is possible to proceed a step further with bootcd, but the directory
name where it looks for the "isolinux.bin" file appears wrongly in uppercase
letters:
[...]
cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin': No such file or directory
exit=1
--- OUTPUT from <cp /usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin
//var/spool/bootcd/changes/isolinux> ---
cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin': No such file or directory
A temporary fix is to symlink it:
root@nb150:~# ln -s /usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isolinux.bin
/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin
Finally, please consider deploying the attached patch for improved performances
on SMP systems. It parses the number of parallel threads that the local CPU can
support, and deploys mkzftree accordingly via its "-p" option.
Many thanks,
--
Alberto.
