This was fixed in Ubuntu 12.10 via Debian: os-prober (1.52) unstable; urgency=low
[ Stéphane Graber ] * Add support for Windows 8. [ Colin Watson ] * Install README and TODO in the .deb. [ Joey Hess ] * Revert broken patch adding support for BSD distributions. Closes: #668860 -- Joey Hess <jo...@debian.org> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:50:38 -0400 I believe this is a cosmetic failure - that is, it's ugly but it doesn't cause os-prober or indirectly update-grub to fail - and so I don't at this point think that we need to backport the fix to 12.04. If I'm wrong and it does in fact cause a functional failure, feel free to reopen this bug. ** Package changed: grub2 (Ubuntu) => os-prober (Ubuntu) ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #668860 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668860 ** Also affects: os-prober (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668860 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: os-prober (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168982 Title: update-grub uses gawk but doesnt depend on gawk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1168982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
