Description

Spotted by the automated test suite:

call returned: [1, "Files /lib/live/mount/medium/isolinux/ldlinux.c32 and /mnt/new/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 differ\n", ""]

The original one has e.g. the "GCC: (Debian 4.9.2-10)" string, while the one installed on the target device has "GCC: (Debian 4.9.2-9)" instead.

That file is among the four ones that have a more recent mtime (that matches the installation time) on the destination than on the source: syslinux.cfg, stdmenu.cfg, ldlinux.sys and ldlinux.c32 => perhaps it's modified when we run syslinux, just like ldlinux.sys is? If so, then it should be added to ignores in usb.rb.

The way I understand http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Library_modules#All_Syslinux_variants_need_an_additional_ldlinux_module, this seems to be entirely normal => added to the ignores list. anonym, may you please have a look and close this ticket if happy with it?

Given that information, adding ldlinux.c32 to ignores makes sense. Closing ticket.
