Package: xen-hypervisor-common Version: 4.14.5+24-g87d90d511c-1 Severity: minor File: /etc/default/grub.d/xen.cfg
Dear Maintainer, When invoked via grub-mkconfig, xen.cfg outputs this as its first line: Including Xen overrides from /etc/default/grub.d/xen.cfg The output of grub-mkconfig is expected to be redirected into a grub.cfg file. Grub will read the grub.cfg at boot. Unfortunately, "Including" is not a valid grub command. So when booting, grub emits this error message before displaying its menu: error: can't find command `Including'. The error message is obscured very quickly. It does not affect functionality in any way. It requires booting on a VERY slow machine in order to read the error message at all. If I add a '#' to the start of the "Including", the resulting grub config file boots with no error. echo "#Including Xen overrides from /etc/default/grub.d/xen.cfg" I'm not sure if this line was intended to go into the generated config file as a comment, or if it was intended to be shown to the user while grub-mkconfig is running. I have observed this and tested my fix against version 4.14.5+24-g87d90d511c-1 of xen-hypervisor-common. I have also checked with the debian git at https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/-/blob/master/debian/tree/xen-hypervisor-common/etc/default/grub.d/xen.cfg. This line has not changed in a very long time. I can also duplicate the behavior using grub-emu, with the output redirected to a file. I am running devuan, and originally reported this to their BTS but was redirected to debian. So my version number does not match. Apologies for that.
