[Bug 1502821] [NEW] usb-creator-* fails with message cannot install bootloader

[Jan Bertran]

Public bug reported:

it looks for files into directory /usr/lib/syslinux/ but (in ubuntu Wily) the correct path is
/usr/lib/SYSLINUX/

A workaround is a symbolic link (cd /usr/lib/; sudo ln -s SYSLINUX syslinux)
and it works
