Bug#589532: grub-rescue-pc: still does not depend on xorriso, although it should

[Pier Luigi Pau]

Package: grub-rescue-pc
Version: 1.98+20100710-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Greetings,

changelog for version 1.98+20100527-1 mentions:
[cut]
   * Suggest xorriso (>= 0.5.6.pl00) in grub-common, since grub-mkrescue now
     needs it.  Depend on it in grub-rescue-pc.
[cut]

However, grub-rescue-pc still does not depend on xorriso (or the
dependency was removed by mistake - I haven't reviewed every version
since), and it is possible to install the former without the latter
being automatically installed, with the result that grub-mkrescue
exits with an error message:

# grub-mkrescue -o 20100718a.iso
Enabling BIOS support ...
/usr/bin/grub-mkrescue: 323: xorriso: not found

Of course, the iso image is not created.

Best regards,
Pier Luigi Pau
