Bug#740504: Any update on having an upgraded xorriso so we don't have GPT failures ?

xorriso by default writes its version info into the Preparer Id
field of the ISO Primary Volume Descriptor (superblock).

The text can be retrieved by

  xorriso -indev debian-7.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso -pvd_info \
     2>&1 | grep '^Preparer Id'

which yields

  Preparer Id  : XORRISO-1.2.6 2013.01.08.103001, LIBISOBURN-1.2.6, LIBISOFS-1.2.6, LIBBURN-1.2.6

or (with some garbage around it) by

  dd if=debian-7.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso bs=2048 skip=16 count=1 \
    | strings | fgrep XORRISO


> $ mediainfo debian-7.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso

Program isoinfo would tell.

  isoinfo -i debian-7.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso  -d

yields among others

  Data preparer id: XORRISO-1.2.6 2013.01.08.103001, LIBISOBURN-1.2.6, LIBISOFS-1.2.6, LIBBURN-1.2.6


Have a nice day :)
