_______________________________________________________
Details:
This report pertains to GNU GRUB version 2.04
The "background_image" command mis-diagnoses a non-existent image file as
having "unsupported format", rather than stating that it is non-existent.
Steps to reproduce:
On grub commandline:
background_image /some/nonexistent/file
produces the diagnostic message:
error: bitmap file '/some/nonexistent/file' is of unsupported format.
Correct diagnosis is that the file doesn't exist.
