This message isn't one that can possibly be emitted by the version of grub-install in grub2-common 2.00-19, not least because that particular error message was somewhat broken in 2.00 and always said "source_dir" rather than the full path. You must have a locally-built version from upstream installed such that it overrides the packaged versions; don't do this unless you actually want it to override! which grub-install -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
