Bug#731806: debian-installer: FTBFS on sparc: genisoimage errors
I've been looking through this problem.
genisoimage is reporting a problem with . and .. aliased to the same ''
name.
logs of the problem:
-------------
genisoimage -r -J -o ./tmp/miniiso/mini.iso -G /boot/isofs.b -B ...
./tmp/miniiso/cd_tree
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
genisoimage: Error: './tmp/miniiso/cd_tree/boot/.' and
'./tmp/miniiso/cd_tree/boot/..' have the same ISO9660 name ''.
Unable to sort directory ./tmp/miniiso/cd_tree/boot
-------------
I tried with the xorriso -as mkisofs command, with no luck.
This command terminates with a SIGBUS no matter of the options I pass on
the command line.
Seems to me that there an alignment problem with xorriso.
Here's the log associated
-------------
xorriso -as mkisofs -r -J -o ./tmp/miniiso/mini.iso -G /boot/isofs.b -B
... ./tmp/miniiso/cd_tree/

Finally, I downloaded the cdrtools from berlios, and rebuild a mkisofs
from source.
With this mkisofs, the build of the iso went without a problem, so I'm
thinking this problem seems to be a bug in the genisoimage.
Here's the log:
-------------
../../cdrtools-3.01/mkisofs/OBJ/sparc64-linux-cc/mkisofs -r -J -o
./tmp/miniiso/mini.iso -G /boot/isofs.b -B ... ./tmp/miniiso/cd_tree/
Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale.

Total directory bytes: 2048
Path table size(bytes): 22
Total extents including sparc boot = 4160

4310 extents written (8 MB)
-------------
So, this does not seems to be related to sparc, but rather to genisoimage.
There 3 ways possibles to fix this in increasing workload :
1- Create a package for mkisofs original which works ok to generate this
iso.
2- Fix the genisoimage
3- Fix the xorriso for alignment problem
I'll have a look at the genisoimage.
