Severity: important
Hello.
The script "grub-floppy", shipped with current "grub-disk" deb package,
fails in testing the existence of the required files.
This occurs because a variable is assigned a glob file pattern:
pkglibdir=/lib/grub/*-*
stage1=$pkglibdir/stage1
that is subsequently used between quotes:
[ -f "$stage1" ] || abort "Can't find $stage1, aborting"
where the star is _not_ considered as a meta-character; so, indeed
there is no "/lib/grub/*-*/stage1" file but "/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1"
is right there!
I understand that the intention was for more generality, but even so
the rest of the script wouldn't work anymore. In effect, what is supposed
to happen in:
$dd if=$stage1 of="$1" bs="512" count="1"
whenever there are more directories (i.e. other than "i386-pc") and so
the "$stage1" variable would presumably contain a list of files...
An older version of the same utility contained
pkglibdir=/lib/grub/i386-pc
which is why it worked then.
Side note/question/suggestion: Is there a reason why such scripts
are still written in such bug-prone a language as "sh", while mistakes
like this would be less likely in e.g. Perl (which is required anyways
on Debian)?
Best,
Gilles
