Package: mkisofs Version: 4:2.01+01a01-4 Severity: minor When using the -dvd-video option with mkisofs (and at the highest verbosity level), if mkisofs doesn't recognise the proper directory structure, it will fail with the mysterious error:
mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image. The problem is that there's a directory that mkisofs is expecting to see that isn't there. The error message completely obscures this fact. Presumably, mkisofs is smart enough to know what it needs. There's probably a bank of conditionals that tests the various things that need to be tested in order for the iso to be made. It appeas that failure of any of them leads to a generic fail message. I finally did figure out what's wrong from Google: http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2005/02/msg00106.html but mkisofs itself should be telling me this information. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mkisofs depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime mkisofs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
