Bug#864629: live-build: When build hdd img: chroot/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin’: No such file or directory
Package: live-build
Version: 4.0.3-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
On a freshly installed Debian Jessie I tried to build a live image with
target hdd, following exactly the description in
https://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/stable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html
4.7 Building and using an HDD image.
........
At the end of the build I get no image and the reason seems to be this:
P: Mounting /dev/loop1 with offset 0
dd: failed to open ‘chroot/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin’: No such file or directory
.......
I checked and found chroot/usr/lib/syslinux not existing.
Instead chroot/usr/lib/SYSLINUX exists and contains the file mbr.bin.
As a workaround I copied chroot/usr/lib/SYSLINUX/* to chroot/usr/lib/syslinux/*
and finally could build the hdd image.
One other note: the built hdd image is missing the .img extension but it works.
