Hello, I'm using latest SYSLINUX from bullseye. After installing syslinux on a FAT32 fs: # syslinux --directory syslinux --install /dev/sdb1 I see the md5sum of ldlinux.c32 doesn't match the md5sum of /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/ldlinux.c32: # md5sum syslinux/ldlinux.c32 /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/syslinux.c32 a9b49d9dd73d9789484255881d3622d1 syslinux/ldlinux.c32 324de66664a4f9c66b2727ef8a757c21 /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/syslinux.c32 I don't know where syslinux/ldlinux.c32 comes from, I assume it's embedded in /usr/bin/syslinux, but /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/syslinux.c32 comes from the syslinux-common binary package. I understand there was a recent binary-only upload, which means the contents of the syslinux package no longer match the contents of the syslinux-common package. From changelog.Debian.amd64.gz: syslinux (3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-3+b1) sid; urgency=low, binary-only=yes * Binary-only non-maintainer upload for amd64; no source changes. * Rebuild for outdated Built-Using -- all / amd64 / i386 Build Daemon (x86-conova-01) <buildd_amd64-x86-conova...@buildd.debian.org> Sun, 13 Jun 2021 13:52:15 +0000 The problem is that syslinux-common *also* contains binaries [the syslinux modules], and they no longer match. I think it makes sense to upload all syslinux binary packages from the same build to the repository, so everything aligns. Looking forward to your comments, Vangelis. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-0.bpo.8-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=el_GR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages syslinux depends on: ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2 ii mtools 4.0.26-1 Versions of packages syslinux recommends: ii syslinux-common 3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-3 Versions of packages syslinux suggests: ii dosfstools 4.2-1 -- no debconf information
