Bug#637183: live-build: Building tar target fails when using grub as bootloader

2011-08-09 Thread Axel 
Package: live-build
Version: 2.0.12-2
Severity: important

When builidng a tar target, the process stops at the grub install.
Maybe this step could install the grub configuration files in the tar.gz file.
Those would be used later when manually extracting the tar file on a filesystem.


From the build log :

Indeed, on wheezy (live-build-3.0~a21-1) grub target is built without 
problem.


On squeeze (live-build-2.0.12-2) grub bootloader doesn't work, a 
target with grub2 bootloader is built successfully (though grub2 is 
not in the list of the supported targets according to the manual).


Thanks for your answer.
Axel
