Failed to open "/mnt/usb2.BJM/sources/install.swm" for writing: No such file or directory

Describe the bug

Following output:

bootiso: Detected a Windows install.wim file, which will be handled by 'wimlib-imagex' utility.
bootiso: Copying files from ISO to USB device with 'rsync'   \
         Writing "/mnt/usb.BJM/sources/install.swm" (part 1 of 5): 0 MiB of 4170 MiB (0%) written
|         Writing "/mnt/usb2.BJM/sources/install.swm" (part 2 of 5): 1022 MiB of 4170 MiB (24%) written
[ERROR] Failed to open "/mnt/usb2.BJM/sources/install.swm" for writing: No such file or directory
         ERROR: Exiting with error code 47:
                Failed to open a file.
 
bootiso: Synchronizing writes on device '/dev/sde'    
bootiso: Took 23 seconds to perform [install-auto] action.
bootiso: ISO succesfully unmounted (/mnt/iso.Kcx).

Then hangs for a few minutes and outputs:

bootiso: USB device succesfully ejected.
         You can safely remove it!

During the hanging time so can see "umount /mnt/usb.XYZ" via ps aux. Unmount command can not be killed with sudo kill -9 PID. Bootiso can not be canceled with CTRL+C during that time.

Expected behavior (for behavioral bugs only)

Should not throw "No such file or directory" error and hang. Should exit successfully

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

./bootiso ./isos/Win10_1809Oct_German_x64.iso (same with Win10_1803_German_x64.iso)

Error occurs every time, restarting the system does not help.

Suggestion fix

Currently no idea, will have to investigate.

@mdPlusPlus I believe it's related to #43 if your version of wimlib is bellow 1.13

[mdPlusPlus]

Is there an official .deb or PPA for 1.13?

Found a solution:
I checked the Ubuntu Disco Dingo repository for newer packages.
You need to download these three:

• https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/disco/amd64/libntfs-3g883/
• https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/disco/amd64/libwim15/
• https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/disco/amd64/wimtools/

Install them (e.g. sudo apt install ./wimtools_1.13.0-1build1_amd64.deb ./libwim15_1.13.0-1build1_amd64.deb ./libntfs-3g883_2017.3.23AR.3-2_amd64.deb).

Run bootiso again and everything works fine.

Should be fixed in v3.3.0, let me know!
