Re: [schizo@debian.org: Re: sed or grub-install bug?]
I'm guessing that something changed in ls's output so that that sed expression won't work on the output of ls anymore. I tried it with the latest coreutils, and couldn't see anything that might trigger a bug. And if the 'ls -l' output for symbolic links would change, then it would actually violate POSIX in some-way that I don't remember right now. Maybe some locale setting is the bug... ams@lgh163a:~/coreutils-4.5.7/i686-pc-linux-gnu/src$ ./ls --version | head -n1 ls (coreutils) 4.5.7 ams@lgh163a:~/coreutils-4.5.7/i686-pc-linux-gnu/src$ sed --version | head -n1 GNU sed version 3.02 ams@lgh163a:~/coreutils-4.5.7/i686-pc-linux-gnu/src$ ./ls -al foo lrwxrwxrwx1 ams ams 2 Feb 19 08:49 foo - ls ams@lgh163a:~/coreutils-4.5.7/i686-pc-linux-gnu/src$ ./ls -al foo | sed -n 's%.*- %\1%p' ls Sadly, I don't think that readlink is a standard command you can count on the existence of :/ Indeed, readlink is a totally unstandard command. ___ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
