Description Ole Reier Ulland 2015-03-18 07:41:51 CET

Steps to Reproduce:
1. xorriso-package not installed
2. grub2-mkrescue -o /tmp/grub2-rescue.iso
3. Observ: Enabling BIOS support ...
Your xorriso doesn't support `--grub2-boot-info'. Some features are disabled. 
Please use xorriso 1.2.9 or later.
/usr/bin/grub2-mkrescue: line 752: xorriso: command not found
4. install xorriso
5. grub2-mkrescue -o /tmp/grub2-rescue.iso
6. The iso-file is made

I believe the rpm-package with grub2-mkrescue should be listed as dependent on the rpm-package xorriso. At least my fresh installment of Mageia 4.1 x64 installed grub2 without installing xorriso.

Oops - not yet fixed for Mga4

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2015-04-10 01:46:48 CEST

And dont even try to push a hard requires to mga4, it will unnecessarily bloat installs as xorriso have a lots of recursive deps...

I've switched Cauldron package to Recommends: as a hard require screws up live builds...

Comment 4 Samuel Verschelde 2015-09-21 13:21:05 CEST

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
