The iso-scan step contains a loop that goes through all directories in a
partition.  Line 165 contains this command:

  find $dir $opt -name "*.iso" -o -name "*.ISO"

Bacause the $dir argument is not quoted, a directory name with spaces in
it gets passed as multiple arguments.  Most likely the individual words do
not exist as files or directories, so the find command returns with an
error and causes the entire script to terminate.

Hi,

and thanks for the report.

This has been fixed in:
  https://packages.qa.debian.org/i/iso-scan/news/20140825T030528Z.html

and the fixed package will be used whenever debian-installer is rebuilt
against it (probably a matter of days, maybe weeks if some delays
happen). I'm therefore closing this bug report for now since the root
cause has been fixed.

Mraw,
KiBi.
