[For the future, it's generally better to file bug reports about this kind of thing. As luck would have it I manage to read -devel occasionally ...]

Is my fix a bad idea for some reason? Thanks for your report. Dropping -x isn't quite the right answer. The bug is that using grep for this interprets regular expression metacharacters in the path. Using fgrep instead fixes this (and quoting is of course a good idea too; the whole loop could probably use a rewrite IMO, but this will do for now). I've fixed this upstream: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=grub.git;a=commitdiff;h=0901e7855f922e770cbfeb58262cb8fded518190 ... and cherry-picked it into the Debian packaging for my next upload: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-grub/grub.git;a=commitdiff;h=4bea8b3e2d4718fca3625d6e9707cbf249cb7aa6;hp=3d7a403d28c23372a4ef17c27622366bd2196670 -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
