Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98~20091210-1 Severity: important Script 30_os-prober tests for existence of os-prober at line 29. If os-prober is not installed, then exit 0 at line 31. My machine did not have os-prober installed. The result is that grub.conf had not reference to my Windows XP istallation. I installed os-prober and re-ran update-grub2, picking up XP partition.
Suggest grub-pc package require os-prober and/or report condition at exit noted above. (This may be received twice, as I forwarded an attached verison via regular mail, after text based reportbug failed with SMTP authentication error.)
