[Bug 1739790] Re: live-build fails to build

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thank you for your bug report.

Indeed it's obvious from the code was is wrong and should be trivial to
fix

functions/defaults.sh has that code

'		ubuntu)
			LB_SYSLINUX_THEME="${LB_SYSLINUX_THEME:-ubuntu-oneiric}"
			;;'

Or the -oneiric binary got removed in xenial so it's probably a matter
for doing s/oneiric/xenial there


Tagging rls for foundations review they know better the image build tools and what modes are supposed in Ubuntu
