Hi,

Please see: https://bugs.debian.org/982241

It looks like cdrkit / genisoimage wont be available in the next Debian 12 (and therefore probably it will also be dropped in Ubuntu). As per the bug report:

"I'm told xorriso and libburnia are alternatives and are alive and doing well."

Would it be possible to switch to that?

Yeah, xorriso provides a drop in replacement for genisoimage in the form of mkisofs so you can either default to that in your nova-dist.conf or deployment tooling as TripleO is doing for el9 based hosts.

I also have a WIP change up to move the default of [configdrive]mkisofs_cmd in Nova to mkisofs during Yoga.
