That issue is also present in Debian Sid. It just showed up on kfreebsd because of test -x failing to report executable bits properly. Colin: Yeah, that's how I stumbled upon the fact that LP: 537123 is not fixed or has a regression. :-) Thanks for noticing this. I've fixed this in GRUB upstream and will backport to Debian and Ubuntu. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
