This seems to be cause for fat32 when kiwi calls mcopy
to transfer data into the fat filesystem image for EFI boot.
The mtools code defines code page 850 as the default. The implementation to convert text into cp850 is provided by glibc via the iconv interface. On SUSE TW several changes to the packages and the dependencies were made such that the required gconv module for cp850 is no longer installed by default. I don't see how binutils fits into the picture though.
From my perspective we could solve this in one of the kiwi systemdeps package but at the moment I believe it's a mistake in the mtools package requirements and should be properly fixed there.
I'll set this as a discussion topic for the the community meeting
binutils
is needed as a depends to provide strings

ok thanks, I think we should provide a fix on the systemdeps meta packages because I believe there will be some people stumbling over this
Problem description
possibly missing build dependencies
Expected behaviour
images build successfully
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
OS and Software information
I've been building for ages with the following build dependencies:
kiwi-systemdeps-iso-media kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders kiwi-systemdeps-disk-images
Yesterday / today I've noticed I needed to also add:
binutils glibc-gconv-modules-extra
- the extra gconv modules were needed to fix:before I added
glibc-gconv-modules-extra
to the build environment - I tried addingkiwi-systemdeps
but the depends do not seem to be in there either.Some build ideas for anyone coming across this - attaching an ext4 formatted
zram
volume to the build container works very well. MicroOS images build in around 5 mins.
