Bug Description
Binary package hint: genisoimage
How to reproduce the bug:
1) install Ubuntu 11.04 on an intel-compatible PC
2) start system/
3) select an Ubuntu/PPC 11.04 ISO image...
4) ...but the ISO file does not appear "selected" as expected (selected dialog remains empty).
This is a long-term bug (I already experienced it in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10), due to limits of "isoinfo" utility contained in the "genisoimage" package.
Apparently, usb-creator-gtk verifies the correctness of the ISO image calling:
/usr/bin/isoinfo -J -i /tmp/natty-
but isoinfo 1.1.11 complains "Unable to find Joliet SVD".
Mounting the same PPC ISO image as looped filesystem works OK (the ISO image mounts OK and its .disk/info file contains "Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release powerpc (20110427.1)").
Funny, if I change /usr/bin/isoinfo with a shell script printing the "Ubuntu.

Same bug in Ubuntu 11.10; I had to use the same workaround.
