Yeah, I'll have to defer to Thierry who sent me.  I've asked him to 
comment in my MGA bug.  In case it helps, the source rpm is here: 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/7/SRPMS/core/release/os-prober-1.74-4.mga7.src.rpm


From 'rpm --query --info os-prober' on this system, included is:
URL : http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/os-prober/

and there are some ties to Debian stated, there, including direction to 
report bugs over here, FWIW. ;)

I will try to comply if specifics of a desired elaboration can be given.
Thanks,
Rolf

Can you elaborate on the issue a bit more? I'm not sure how Debian is 
responsible for
problems in other distributions. I don't see any other mentioning of Debian in 
the
Mageia bug report.

Thanks,
Adrian

Bug#949311: os-prober hangs Mageia 7 x86_64 kernel installation

2020-01-19 Thread Rolf Pedersen

Package: os-prober
Version: 1.74-4

Thierry Vignaud, Mageia devel, asked that I submit this bug.  Probably 
the most relevant comment from my bug, there, is: 
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25873#c8


I administer 3 machines on the LAN via ssh, using urpmi for package 
management.  Recently, seemingly starting with kernel 5.4, one machine 
fails to complete routine upgrades that include kernel, sticking on 
installation of the kernel.  The others continue to succeed.  There are 
details in that bug report that might be helpful.  Tell me what more is 
needed.

Thanks,
Rolf
p.s. I tried to follow instructions to use 'reportbug', converting a deb 
to rpm, but execution of the installed binary ended in segfault, 
probably for good reason.  I hope this works; my Debian proficiency is 
limited.
