Cannot get past sanity check - hang up at Mindi not finding isolinux (installed locally) - Archlinux

Archlinux x86_64
Linux 4.14.8

isolinux path: /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/isolinux.bin


Hi,

This *could* be specific to Archlinux but I need to debug it.

At first glance, it /seems/ that it is not finding isolinux.bin in the 
location it expects.  If I could know what that location is, I could 
symlink.

At the moment, I do have:

% ls -l /usr/bin/genisoimage -> mkisof
which could be a problem for mondo/mindi?

Note: this symlink seems "standard" for my distro.

The isssue: the sanity check keeps failing when running mondoarchive.

Here is the error message:

* % sudo mondoarchive*
See /var/log/mondoarchive.log for details of backup run.

Comment: I have reinstalled mondo and mindi as suggested but, as 
expected, no change.
