Cannot mount live image aborted install

First, please start the Systemback from a terminal emulator (on the Live System), with the following command:

DBGLEV=3 systemback-sustart

and try to install the system. After the error message, show me the terminal output.

Hi,

I just ran into the exact same issue with a Systemback ISO made from Debian testing which I've been using successfully with Systemback for quite some time, unfortunately that machine is not connected to the internet but the issue is that /lib/live/mount/medium/live/filesystem.squashfs doesn't mount. I will try and post the exact output from the terminal tomorrow.

Could there be a permissions issue with 'filesystem.squashfs'?

Hi, here is the output of a failed install:

Hm, Debian stretch/sid? I think it is a simple incompatibility issue, because a Debian changes...

So the Systemback try to use the old
/lib/live/mount/medium/live/filesystem.squashfs
instead of
/lib/live/mount/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs

Hi,

OK in Debian you can roll back packages to previous versions, what system packages do you think would cause the change?

Hi,

Systemback was working for me with the same system previously, I have Debian Testing based ISO's from August 2016 that still install properly. If I can determine with your help if 'live-boot' or 'squashfs-tools' are the cause I can try to roll them back since the change happened sometime since August
