Bug#745760: live-build: build fails when using netboot during binary_syslinux phase
Source: live-build
Version: 4.0~alpha33-1
Severity: important
When building a netboot image, the build fails with the following error message during the binary_syslinux phase:
sed: couldn't edit tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg: not a regular file
I traced it to line 254 of build/binary_syslinux where it runs through all of the files in ${_TARGET}/*.cfg. It attempts to run a sed on all cfg files but fails on pxelinux.cfg because it's a directory. (/usr/share/live/build/bootloaders/pxelinux/pxelinux.cfg/)
To validate it, I removed the pxelinux.cfg directory right before the for loop and then the build completes successfully.
