"genisoimage" is the other half, buggy as hell and the images it creates are only fit for the trash.
This is well known :-( Testing discovered many bugs in Summer 2006 that have been fixed in August 2006 and Debian even added own Debian specific new bugs.
For example "file-roller" in Leap:42.1 depends on "genisoimage", could that also be fixed for Leap:42.2 / TW (using mkisofs as replacement)?
I'm just asking, no pressure from me, but it would be a nice betterment.
Do you know why there might be problems? genisoimage mainly was tied to the state from Summer 2004 by Debian. There was a big problem: The options -H/-L/-P from the old mkisofs have been deprecated long ago, but Debian fetched a version before they have been finally disabled for another (POSIX) purpose that will soon be enabled, since aprox. 15 years have passed since deprecating them. The bas news is that Debian not just stayed with the old mkisofs source but removed a warning that explains that these options are deprecated since a long time. So frontends may use these options....
