I can only agree with the others,...
As long as the syslinux in the repository *NEED* mtools, it should be a
dependency.
It is no big deal for people who know how to look around. But for the

Just been hit by this myself with ubuntu 6.10 desktop. The first thing I
tried was apt-get install mcopy, which didn't work, I then looked on
google and found this page.
The two ways forward I can see are
1) Change syslinux to not use mcopy
2) Make mtools a *dependency* of syslinux
I have no idea

The mtools dependence of syslinux is kind of silly ... Since only root
can mount filesystems, but mtools can operate on any msdos filesystem

I agree that mtools should be listed as a dependency rather than simply
recommended. The mcopy program will be required by syslinux in 99% of
cases and therefore should be a depends.
Jonh, this option is not turned on by default so hence in most cases
syslinux will fail to operate after installing

Go to menu Settings->Preferences, mark 'Consider recommended packages as
dependencies'.
