Package: os-prober Version: 1.65 Severity: normal Tags: patch
When invoking 'update-grub' an installation of Devuan on another partition is identified by os-prober as 'unknown Linux distribution'. It does have an /etc/devuan_version file. By contrast, os-prober supports detection of other OS's (including some Debian derivatives).
Please resolve this for future versions. A simple 3-line patch to /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/90linux-distro (enclosed) has been observed to work (by myself only so far).
