help anyway.

"Could not move syslinux files in "/media/2655-967A": [Errno 2] No such
file or directory. Maybe "/tmp/tmp5viFtu" is not an Ubuntu image?"

Title:
  ValueError: Invalid version string

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  install.mangle_syslinux misuses debian_support.Version to compare
  release versions against each other. This can cause an unexpected
  exception (ValueError: Invalid version string %s) if the value it
  retrieves from .disk/info isn't a valid version for a Debian package.

  usb-creator either should stop abusing debian_support.Version and/or
  catch this exception and set target_os_ver to None.
