Package: os-prober
Version: 1.38
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The MINIX detection criterial is fairly old, no recent MINIX installation can

As we are developing some new boot features of MINIX (Multiboot compliant for
example), we are also
trying to make configuring GRUB easier, as a result the detection of os-prober
is patched.
The patch is as below:
