Looks like xorriso has lost various eltorito options, preventing iso
generation.

Description: Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem images
 genisoimage is a pre-mastering program for creating ISO-9660 CD-ROM
filesystem images, which can then be written to CD or DVD media using
the wodim program.
 genisoimage includes support for making bootable "El Torito" CDs, as
well as CDs with support for the Macintosh HFS filesystem.

 The package also includes extra tools useful for working with ISO images:
 * mkzftree - create ISO-9660 image with compressed contents
 * dirsplit - easily separate large directory contents into disks of
predefined size
 * geteltorito - extract an El Torito boot image from a CD image

 Please install cdrkit-doc if you want most of the documentation and
README files.

Description: command line ISO-9660 and Rock Ridge manipulation tool
 xorriso is a command line and dialog application, which creates, loads,
manipulates, and writes ISO-9660 file system images with Rock Ridge
extensions.

 It maps file objects from POSIX compliant file systems into Rock Ridge
enhanced ISO-9660 file systems and features session-wise manipulation of
such file
 systems. It can load the management information of existing ISO images
and write the resulting session to optical medium or as file system objects.

 Supported optical media types:
 * CD-R, CD-RW
 * DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM
 * BD-R, BD-RE

 Some interesting features:
 * Emulation of the mkisofs and cdrecord programs.
 * Data backup and restore capabilities - compression, ACLs, and filters.
 * Isohybrid MBR with partition offset - features booting ISOLINUX from
USB sticks, or from other devices that appear to PC-BIOS as hard disks.
The images
   carry a conventional partition table for a USB stick; the first
partition reports the size of the ISO image, but starts at a non-zero
address. It is
   nevertheless still mountable.
 * Jigdo Template Export - jigdo representation of the resulting
ISO-9660 image, generated on the fly.

 Test suite:
 xorriso source code comes with a release engineering test-suite called
 `releng', which aims to cover most of the functionality of the xorriso
 and the underlying libraries of libburn, libisofs, and libisoburn.

All presumably coming as a result of (in mindi):

MakeISO() {

if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
        if [ "$BOOT_TYPE" = "UEFI" ]; then
                CMD=`echo $CMD | perl -p -e 's|--efi-boot

                LogAll "INFO: Invoking instead $CMD"
                (cd "$MINDI_TMP/mpt" ; $CMD .) > /dev/null 2>

                if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then

else

fi
rm -f $MINDI_TMP/mkisofs.log
}


$ mindi -v
Mindi v3.0.2-r3578


Any suggestions for getting through the iso generation phase, in the
mean time?
