Bug#919813: os-prober fails to find any os's at all.

Package: os-prober Version: 1.77 os-prober fails to find any os's at all after a new Debian buster install, not even the installed and running DEbian buster. The install was done using the net-install CD on a USB stick on 2019 01 18, downloaded immediately before the installation.
