Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20080724-14 Severity: serious Tags: patch Hi,
When gnumach is installed grub-pc fails to install due to at least the missing function make_system_path_relative_to_its_root. Also afterwards it aborts if it cannot find the needed stuff to successfully boot a Hurd system, which should not be fatal on non Hurd systems. The attached patch fixes those problems. For upstream submission you might want to replace the dpkg invokation with uname. regards, guillem
