Hi,

please assign the bug to be resolved.

On Ubuntu 15.10 unetbootin is affected because of syslinux_603 package,
while forcing installation of package from previous Ubuntu release unetbootin works ok.

sudo dpkg --force-all -i syslinux_6.03+dfsg-5ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Please correct the syslinux package of wily ( 6.03+dfsg+8ubuntu2 ) which
is causing problems to all syslinux dependent usb disk creator
softwares.

Thanks from all Ubuntu Wily community of people.

Mauro

Title:
  syslinux install is broken on kubuntu 15.10 beta1

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  syslinux -if /dev/sdb1

  finishes fine but when starting the usb flashdrive it simply says
  "boot error"

  performing the same step on a 14.04 machine and the usb flashdrive is
  able to show me the syslinux options and boot properly.


  uname -a
  Linux wald 4.1.0-3-generic #3-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 28 12:25:10 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  dpkg -l|grep syslinux
  ii  syslinux                                                    3:6.03+dfsg-8ubuntu2

  
  --------------
  using the start-disk-creator (usb-creator-kde) leads to the same result..  the created flashdrive doesn't boot.
