Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: os-prober
Karmic development branch (9.10), freshly updated as of Fri Oct 16 22:00
UTC.
os-prober package version is 1.35
os-prober did not detect my MS-DOS partition during the grub to grub2
update process. This is caused by a bug in a script.
The following in /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft is wrong:
elif [ -d "$(item_in_dir dos $2)" ]; then
long="MS-DOS 5.x/6.x/Win3.1"
short=MS-DOS"
This can't work as the process is not in the right working directory for
the -d test to succeed (except by accident when there is another
directory of that name in the working directory).
The following line fixes the bug:
elif item_in_dir -q dos "$2" && [ -d "$2/$(item_in_dir dos $2)" ]; then
long="MS-DOS 5.x/6.x/Win3.1"
short=MS-DOS"
Note that we can't have just the second test since otherwise it will
always succeed. Reason: "$(item...)" is then the empty string, so it
just tests for the existence of the mount point "$2".
