Public bug reported:
I have installed 19.10 on a zfs filesystem using the installer.
I have also installed zfs-auto-snapshot. Zsys is not installed.
When I run "update-grub", I get the error:
Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration
error: syntax error.
error: Incorrect command.
error: syntax error.
Syntax error at line 178
At that line the file contains an unmatched closed brace "}".
Looking at the code for /etc/grub.d/10_linux_zfs I think that the error
is caused by the line "at_least_one_entry=1" at row 864. Since the
"main" entry does not open an extra brace (unlike, "advanced" or
"history"), I don't think it should set the flag to trigger the addition
of the extra closed brace at line 942.
Commenting line 864 fixes the problem in my case.
