Public bug reported:
When a device has been specified to 'grub-probe' WITHOUT option '-d',
'grub-probe' systematically displays following error message :
grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `udev'.
This error message is logical when considering the internal point of
view of 'grub-probe', but it is NOT user-friendly.
Therefore, I suggest that 'grub-probe' displays an additional user-friendly
advice message like the following one :
grub-probe: advice: specifying a device requires option '-d'.
