Title:
  libcdio should be 0.92

Status in “libcdio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description of problem:

  Relevant to virtualization / devops / automation, libcdio from 0.83 to
  0.90 it cannot read Linux .iso files that use Rock Ridge for file name
  encoding.

  With libcdio up to 0.90 iso-read gives bad results for .iso files >
  4GB.  Relevant to virtualization / devops / automation, some Linux
  distro images are that large.

  Steps to reproduce problem:

  1.  From bug report https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?39373 get
  most recent file iso-read-test.sh at
  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=30554

  2.  Run that file either plain or with a single parameter 5000, such as
  ./iso-read-test.sh
  ./iso-read-test.sh 5000

  3.  At the end of output see a lot of "read DEFECT" where you should
  see nothing but "read back OK".

  Actual results:

  At the end of output see a lot of "read DEFECT".

  Expected results:

  You should see nothing but "read back OK".

  Additional info:

  There were more than one problems in libcdio 0.90, not just the 4G
  limit.  E.g. Rock Ridge support (often needed for Linux) wasn't
  compiled in by default.

  libcdio 0.92 fixes a lot of problems, and has been out for several
  months, and has been working well so far.

  Relevant fixes cannot be isolated for patching 0.83.

  There also is a discussion in docs files at
  https://github.com/srguiwiz/nrvr-commander/blob/master/docs/which-
  version-iso-read.txt

  One example use at https://github.com/srguiwiz/nrvr-commander but this
  affects any attempt to make virtual machines from distro image .iso
  files as plain user.

  An Ubuntu LTS should release with a healthy libcdio 0.92.
