"Creating little endian" step doesn't finish

[macada]

UCK: 2.0.3 in Ubuntu 8.04
When I go to console and I select the packages I want for my new ubuntu-remastering-distro, I can select whatever I want: apache, php5, openoffice, etc, but not mysql. If I select mysql-server packages and all of its dependences and the script_uck won't finish and will finish in the: "Creating little endian" step:
Updating files lists...
Packing SquashFS image...
Parallel mksquashfs: Using 1 processor
Creating little endian 3.1 filesystem on /home/macada/tmp/remaster-iso/casper/filesystem.squashfs, block size 131072.
TIOCGWINZ ioctl failed, defaulting to 80 columns

It has already been reported, please see the previous bug report/answer.

Ive read almost all of bugs and, sorry but I didn't find the bug you mentioned.
If you mean this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/uck/+bug/194464 is not the same bug cos in my remasterized-distro was already installed mysql-server and worked. The problem of the bug 194464 is because in the host is up another mysql and there is a conflict when mysql-server brings up in the remasterized-distro (I mean inside of the chroot).
In my case I have already a remasterized-distro and working but without mysql and when I want to include it with uck I got this error.
Ive tried also to install a box from scratch with an new ubuntu 8.04 and after install uck as a unique package but I always get the same error in "creating little endian 3.1 filesystem".
I also created the my remasterized-distro with mysql-server following this manual in http://www.debuntu.org/book/export/html/216 and I got the same error in the same step: "creating little endian 3.1 filesystem ....."
Im stuck and frustrated

Hi again,
Ive fixed the problem. mksquashfs is the problematic binary so the uck-script is not the problem. Ive tried to remasterize a distro in ubuntu 7.10 and I didn't got any error. The trouble is with the squasfs-tools package in the 8.04 release. Here is the bug commented: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squashfs/+bug/222700
A workaround is download the debian package of the squasfs-tools: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/squashfs/squashfs-tools_3.3-7_i386.deb. The requirements for this packages are supported in the 8.04 ubuntu.
I hope this workaround helps.
Rgds

Thanks for finding the solution :-)

The answer I was talking about was

Not a bug in UCK, workaround found :-)

[Paul Sladen (sladen)]

Right, so if the bug is in 'mksquashfs', lets file it there.

What's changed between the upstream Debian 3.3-7 and the Ubuntu version:

Could somebody who has the problem do:

  dpkg -l squashfs-tools

so that the version of squashfs in question is known.

Just checked and the version is squashfs-tools 1.3.3-1ubuntu2
this is simply an out dated version and installing 3.3-7 fixed the problem
