Bug#225584: make cd_image requires updated mtools
Package: debian-installer
Tags: d-i
Severity: minor
In the CVS head as d-i as of 2003-12-30, a 'make cd_image' on my
machine fails with:
mkfs.msdos 2.10 (22 Sep 2003)
# mkfs.msdos gets the mode wrong (bug filed)
chmod 644 dest/cdrom-image.img.new
mcopy -idest/cdrom-image.img.new ./tmp/cdrom/vmlinuz ::\linux
mcopy: invalid option -- i
Mtools version 3.9.8, dated 27 May 2001
Usage: mcopy [-spatnmQVBT] [-D clash_option] sourcefile targetfile
mcopy [-spatnmQVBT] [-D clash_option] sourcefile [sourcefiles...] targetdirectory
make: *** [dest/cdrom-image.img] Error 1
My version of mtools is:
mtools/stable uptodate 3.9.8-7
This problem goes away after updating to:
mtools/stable uptodate 3.9.8-7
Perhaps d-i should build-depend on the higher mtools version.
