Various modinfo.sh files embed either /bin/bash or /bin/sh depending on what the /bin/sh symlink points to: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/grub2.html ./usr/lib/grub/i386-coreboot/modinfo.sh #!/bin/bash vs. #!/bin/sh The attached patch fixes this by passing SHELL=/bin/bash to configure in debian/rules. There are still several other outstanding issues affecting the reproducibility of grub2, but this should help reduce the differences to troubleshoot the remaining issues. Thanks for maintaining grub2! live well, vagrant

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] debian/rules: pass SHELL=/bin/bash to configure.
The /bin/sh symlink may affect weather /bin/bash or /bin/sh is
embedded in various modinfo.sh files.
The configure script apparently is looking for features or behavior
that might not be available in all shells, and falls back to using
bash when /bin/sh does not support the desired functionality.
