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.
