Package: os-prober Version: 1.63 Severity: important Tags: patch Haiku's new package management builds have changed the way the kernel and boot sector is laid out, and os-prober's detection routines no longer detect such Haiku partitions.
Currently package management builds are only available in nightly releases but there should be an official release Real Soon Now, and package management should become the norm. It'd be nice to get this fixed before this happens. I enclose a patch which should fix this (to be applied to /usr/lib/os- probes/mounted/83haiku). -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'sid'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages os-prober depends on: ii libc6 2.17-97 os-prober recommends no packages. os-prober suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
